This was a part of birthday week for me 😉 we were on our way to the theatre so didn’t want to be caught up in the prolonged prix fixe dinner upstairs (and frankly at our age we just can’t eat that much at once!!) our waiter Tim was a delight and we had some fun and meaningful convos with him. He was very helpful when we were choosing between drinks (amazing) and small plates (inventive). Each was seasoned to perfection and had a bit of kick and creative flavoring (always in the best way possible). Tim also noticed it was my birthday and when we didn’t care for a sweet (savory person here! 😆) he offered a Peruvian pisco liqueur that we both enjoyed. We also liked the playlist. Festive and charming place! We’ll be back and will recommend. 👍🏽
