On the early side on a Thursday at the bar in the back it was pleasantly quiet. It was comfortable sitting at the bar. The bartender was excellent, the food delicious. It's pricey, but I think worth it for a special dinner. The grilled oysters were my favorite. The cocktails are expensive but high quality.

Came for a restaurant week, food had an average flavour profile very heavy on carbs and fats. Gnocchi and arancini were basically in the same sauce. Bread pudding was not to my liking - too soggy and bland.
