Very satisfied with taste and presentation of entrees. Server, although new, was very accommodating with music level ( too loud ) and was anxious to make it a pleasant meal with the ability to listen to your table guests.

The food and service was great. I read about poor service when it’s busy, but we had great service and the restaurant was full with waiting guests. The food was delicious. The high seats were uncomfortable ( indoor seats are narrow with armrests so it was squishy), the outdoor high seats didn’t have armrests, but were deck chair style. There are several areas in the restaurant (indoor, covered patio, and upstairs), but it’s all open and a bit loud with the music ( but my hearing isn’t great). The decor is nice, not amazing, but very pleasant, lots of plants and sunlight which is always enjoyable.
