We love this little place. But this weekend we arrived early to have a drink at the bar before our dining reservation. A table was available immediately. However I felt we got hounded to order every couple of minutes which chilled our pre-dinner cocktail plan. Theres a fine line between conscientious service and annoying especially when our cocktail plan was not intended to interfere with their dinner reservations. It wont stop us from enjoying this place. It was a minor annoyance.
