    Our appetizer’s came before our drinks and the food shortly after. Servers should pace themselves but everything else was fantastic! Keep it up! Definitely a repeat! Charming location.

    We were 12 in our group. What would have made our experience all 5s would have been the timeliness in delivering bar orders and refills of water. Suggest not serving soda in cans but glass with ice.

    Food was great! Was taking my time enjoying the meal and I kept getting asked if they could take my plates and use the small table we had. Other than that service was good. Just felt rushed

    The patio dining was lovely. The food was excellent. You do need to ask about the breakfast brunch menu - was not on the card menu. The breakfast/brunch was a spread of wonderful small plates brought to the table for a fixed price.
