Sat outside where the traffic noise was constant and high. Had a variety of apps and food , all which was good, but not really excellent or exceptional. Were somewhat disappointed considering their reputation. May give it another try in the future…definitely sit inside!

We had a terrific family dinner. All of the dishes were delicious and shareable. They take gluten-free seriously, which was important for us. The restaurant was quiet so that we could have a conversation, and the service was the perfect level of attentiveness. We will definitely be back.
