Service was terrific. Burger was great. Thought the sides were a little skimpy for the price. Would definitely dine there again.

We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

Excellent food. Slow service the night we attended. Wine choice was not on the menu. Waiter suggested an alternative without mentioning it was $28 a glass and not a big pour. Was not happy with that. But generally an ok experience.

Vibrant flavors with unique preparation. Enjoyed the cauliflower app especially. Desserts amazing and worth saving room for the pistachio tiramisu cake and rich chocolate cake. French press coffee a nice touch. Wine choices were disappointment given there are so many nice options from those same grapes/regions. Mezcal margarita was much better! Will be back someday.
