    We loved this restaurant! Visiting from Canada. Here for the marathon. A friend recommended we dine here. I give it 5+ stars. So charming! So fun! So good! We chose the tapas entrees and shared. We ordered a second helping of the ribs. You must! Delicious. Shrimp came with a warm just baked baguette. Ate the whole loaf! Strawberry feta salad was a huge hit. And the beignets! Just as good as the many I’ve eaten in New Orleans! The staff were lovely. It really was a great experience. And we will definitely be back. A shout out to my amazing awesome gorgeous niece who ran the marathon in 3:13:48.

    Amazing view. Loved the vibe. Our waiter was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the menu especially the gluten free options for me as I have celiac disease. The food was delicious. Everyone in our party had pasta for our main entree and it was excellent. We had the whipped ricotta to start and that was also very good, including the gluten free bread. All in all a fantastic experience. I highly recommend!
