    The food is delicious. The staff helpful. The venue has a lot of charm, exposed bricks, well decorated, very nice atmosphere. The music was loud last night. Too loud. I should have asked for them to turn it down but I didn’t want to be called a Karen. That’s all. Besides that, it’s pretty terrific.

    Great restaurant, food good as are prices. Marred by very loud music both inside and outside which makes it difficult for larger groups.

    It was the worst experience ever, From the time my arrived to the end, No water was offered, there no warmth in the service , 6/7 staffs were on the back of the bar . One big table and our table and so why bothered to server the guests at all:) The time the staff peeking through the main door for some one or some thing m, at least they could have offered the second drink, food was tasteless and while the server taking the metal skewer almost poke my bfs eye and not even an apology ,
