Ambiance had some awkward silence. The only sound/noise was carrying from the bar area across the entryway The food was very good but not great. Ceviche was a bit heavy and small. Butter rolls were very good. Caesar salad was good but didn’t have enough dressing for my liking. Steak and burger were cooked to our liking and the portions were good. Duck was delicious, nice savory and sweet contrasting flavors. Good wine and cocktail list. Beautiful atmosphere. Wait staff was great- attentive and kind.
