Food was amazing, as usual. We had 8 of the 10 dishes on the menu with 2 desserts shared between the 4 of us. We left feeling pleasantly satisfied. Unfortunately I've forgotten our servers name, but he was great! Divided our dishes up in to courses so our table never felt crowded. Did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and describing all the food and drinks brought to the table. Over a great experience. High level of quality and execution, in a more relaxed and cozy environment.
