    The room to the left can get get loud, especially with kids running around, but it is still pleasant. The mushroom hummus is insanely good, though at $19... welcome to the new world of dining out. The rib eye skewer is delicious and enough for two to share. My only wish is the onions were grilled or cooked more. They were almost raw. Still a good compliment to the meat, but... The service is very friendly and easy going and overall, this is still a great place to eat.
