A nice casual space with vibrant energy. Our server Hazel was attentive and friendly. We tried the bottomless dinner and were pleased that we had the opportunity to taste so many different things. Food is clearly prepped to order as everything comes out at the optimal temperature. Its a great dining option before going to a show at the Signature Theater.

Love the restaurant , came here for an evening dinner on a Friday. The waitress we had wasn’t as attentive us just the two of us compared to the other tables. I would say maybe the bar minimum is what he gave if that. Food was amazing and came out pretty quickly. Only complaint would be service
