    Thought it would be better but enjoyed the experience generally but food was extremely overworked and super salty. Brussel sprouts were tasty. Wouldn’t have the curtains as it kept all the noise on our smaller side and might have been better with such a large space to let things flow all over the space. Appreciated our waiter.
