The server was training, but ensured that it was a seamless experience. Server and trainee were both great. Food was fabulous. The drinks were good and we got them at happy hour. The staff was upfront about the food being similar to a tapas experience and that the food was farm to table which meant it wouldn't be quick food. However the wait was completely reasonable and the appetizer/drink/entree flow was perfect. The restaurant was clean - including the women's bathroom.
