the service was incredible, our server was so attentive, intuitive and incredible. We had birthday celebrations to celebrate and it was a lovely celebration. It was pretty loud in the restaurant - but that was the only downside and still manageable.

Excellent friendly service bu our server (Lexus — her actual name, not just a car brand). The fish (trout and 2 different forms of salmon) in our party members’ orders was done to perfection and the sides were equally excellent. The beet salad and salmon tartare starters were wonderful. More noisy than usual because of large, festive holiday season groups having a great time even on a Wednesday night.

This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
