It was nice enough for what we were looking for the burger was tasty. The poke bowl was not substantial unfortunately and too spicy. It was very loud and filled with a lot of young children so it wasn’t really an upscale vibe. The cocktails were good and the service was middle of the road.

The booth by the window: friendly privacy without over the top intimacy. Allowed for catching up with a friend (work drama, family adventures, etc.) without that feeling I was telling the whole restuarant my business. That was surprising given the floor plan.
