Overall the dinner was really outstanding. Food was amazing, and the overall vibe of the space was lovely. They even offered us free dessert, but we were too full to take them up on the offer. It was very loud in there though, and when they would describe the dishes I couldn’t hear a single word. Also, we were seated 15 minutes after our reservation. It was too cold to wait outside, but there was nowhere to wait inside and it felt really awkward. They did their best though.
