I really appreciated the valet, hostess and host. I dined with a friend on crutches. Valet made sure friend could park in closest handicapped parking space. Hostess was sensitive to my companion’s needs and offered two nearby tables to choose from so she didn’t have to walk too far. My friend and I love the shishito peppers. She loved her tacos. The blt banh mi sandwich is good but has no resemblance to a bahn mi at all. Love that they have a nice selection of mocktails so you can feel festive if you’re sober or need to drive back to work. The patio is lovely. Service is good and self parking is free with validation.
