We were utterly impressed with the aesthetic of the restaurant. The staff was on their A game and facilitated a 5 star experience. We don't tend to frequent this caliber of restaurant, but were recommended by friends. The prices were reasonable, food and staff excellent. We will be back if we are ever in the area again. Keep up the fantastic work! Booking the reservation was easy as well. Lots of reminders were very helpful!

Food and waitstaff were great. The hosting situation is why we gave it a 4. The entrance felt super cramped even with no one being there. And when they went to seat us it was originally right next to the only other people in the whole outside seating area. Thankfully they were able to move us out of the lap of the other couple eating, and everything else was great.
