Great food and service. A little loud but I guess that’s to be expected given the space.

Food, atmosphere, and service was excellent. Pricing was reasonable. To park, pass the restaurant to next street, parking lot there, we didn't have to pay on a Wednesday night.

Wait staff is great. Seated right away, explained the specials of the day, opened our wine and left us alone. They do not rush you along. Food is excellent, portions on the larger side (I finished my meal but my wife had hers boxed to go). Parking can be a bit tough.
