Me and my co-workers got together for a post Christmas dinner and this was an absolute perfect place for drinks and loud fun. The portions are great for sharing and everything is delicious. Their drink menu is great, lots of fun flights to chose from. It’s not a huge place so it’s pretty tight and gets packed. Also very loud so I wanted recommend for quiet romantic dinner but fun with friends definitely two thumbs up.
