Place is small, with the tight seating and the sound, hard to hear your conversation with the music and amongst others. Food was Delicious and enjoyed the flavors and freshness. Pricey, but that’s ok when the food is good but the protein portions are small for the prices like oxtail very small. I will revisit in the future. The service was friendly. Thank you.
