    Great experience, and the atmosphere was perfect. We went on a Sunday night, so it was a nice and relaxing pace.

    The food and our waitress were great. It was so noisy inside we moved outside to be able to not yell at our table of 4. The outside tables are too small for family style dining so that was messy. I would go back but would assume I might want to move outside…or ask for a table inside at the end of a room.

    The food was decent and the restaurant is aesthetic. The service was subpar as the waitress seemed to be displeased with serving and showed little to no expression when reviewing the menu and taking our order. Lastly, the noise level is extremely loud where I had a difficult time hearing those at my table and the tables were sat very close together, making it difficult to get in and out. Overall, the food was decent but the environment made it a hard dining experience.
