    We came to celebrate my husband’s Birthday, ordered a few drinks, salad and a pizza. We got salad before drinks, even though the bar was not busy. I was sitting facing the bar and saw bartender polishing glasses and chatting while we were waiting for drinks. Our server was acting like he was too good to do this and nearly rolled his eyes when I asked to explain a desert. AND no one said “Happy Birthday” to my husband even though I put a note on our reservation and told the host we are celebrating. Food was ok.

    Wonderful eatery on an adorable street. One issue: we sat outside (curbside) and there’s a music school across the street. Loud drumming was going on, lol
