Love that they paid attention to the acoustics and you didn't have to raise your voice like in most restaurants to hold a conversation. Food was great.

The food and service were impeccable. Planning my next visit already, there was too much in the menu I need to try. The service was one of the top two I’ve had, hands down. I want to give it one star so no one else goes and it’s easier to get reservations, but that would be inaccurate.
