    Wonderful food and service. I will absolutely go back. Only complaint is the restaurant is too small-we had nowhere to wait for our table . We were hovering over the diners. Small bar was full and also on top of patrons dining. It was uncomfortable for us and the people at the table.This restaurant is packed for all the right reasons. Make it bigger
