Yummy food! So easy to order: just choose from 1 of 8 sets (per person). Each tasty dish may look small, but we were all very full and satisfied at the end! Cocktails were reasonably priced. Ambience was airy and quiet at first, but when one large boisterous group sat down, there was nothing to buffer the noise. Still, I'd come back again :-)
