OpenTable overbooked the restaurant and had to wait 45 minutes for our reservation. They comped us a round of drinks but was still frustrating.

Great food, affordable restaurant with friendly and prompt service. A diverse list of cocktails were offered and were delicious. Food arrived quickly after ordering and all of our dishes were very good. Highly recommend the braised short rib pasta dish. Only complaint is the noise level is quite high, but we were still able to hold a conversation. Will go back!

My boyfriend ordered the lavender Paloma and didn’t like it at all because it was pretty strong, he couldn’t even drink it. When he expressed this to the guy who was helping us he didn’t even try to find a solution for him by maybe trying to offer him a different drink. He basically just said “yeah”.

You can feel very easily how much they just want you in and out. It’s not a good spot to catch up with a friend or be in peace for a bit. They’ll keep coming to your table dozen of times until you finish and they quickly get rid of you. It’s super annoying above the normal.

I had a good time with my friend. The food was good and so were the drinks. The only complaint I have that it’s super loud in there in the evening.
