It was just ok. The vibes were better than the food. We were seated at a table in the corner and I think our server forgot us a few times. Plus there was another table nearby with some raucous guests that were so loud, it made it difficult to hear the people at our own table.

Kenia went above and beyond with our service. She was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a bottle of rose and her top menu recommendations. As a first timer, I’ll be back!

We waited at the bar for our reservation time. We were promptly seated once our time had come. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and courteous. The drinks were good and the food was even better. We thoroughly enjoyed the smoked trout dip and frites. The weather was nice so we enjoyed being sat near the open windows. Overall the experience was great!

Good place for drinks and nice ambiance. Only issue was the tables were too close together and a door kept slamming due to high wind.

loved the food, loved the service, but omigod the noise level was unbelievable. the music was too loud which in turn led patrons to literally be screaming across each other. tables are set up very close to each other so it made for a not so pleasant experience.
