Food was good, nothing particularly outstanding. Service was slow and we didn't have a consistent server. Some items seemed overpriced for what they were. Not sure we'd go back with the kids, as they don't have any sort of kids menu and don't offer plastic cups (my son asked for milk and got a giant glass). I understand we're probably not their demographic, but it would be nice to accommodate families a bit more.

We had such a great time. Dominic was a great waiter, friendly and very professional. Food was outstanding. Decent wine list. Our table was super close to another’s, we could not avoid hearing their conversations. Otherwise perfect night.
