Delicious food, wonderful staff, very pleasant dining experience. Yes, it is super noisy at dinner time (lunch is chill and quieter in my experience), as the space echoes, but this is only an issue w parties of 3 or more. I imagine the outside is quieter, and it is also gorgeous, so I will aim for outdoor tables for my bigger gatherings.
