Sat at the bar, had a wonderful service! The drinks were great and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about the menu, helping my gluten free friend out with what she could have. Great experience! Only negative is that the bar seats are terribly close together so it was very hard to get in and out of the seat.

Outstanding meal with 5 other colleagues. Split several items and nearly all were outstanding. The cucumber salad was the star for me - best cucumber dish I've ever had. Tasty cocktails and a great ambiance made for a very memorable meal.
