We went for an early Sunday dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. The restaurant was relatively quiet, but the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. Our table was very cool for a part of five - an oval of wood that combined the best of a round and a rectangular table. The flavor of the appetizers and meals was wonderful - complex and nuanced and really flavorful - as was the signature cocktail we tried. Our three teenage boys thought that the portion sizes should have been a bit larger on the appetizers and main courses, but my wife and I were satisfied. Overall, we were very pleased and had an enjoyable meal. We would definitely recommend and will be sure to go back again this Summer.
