We sat at the bar upstairs. The downstairs well in looked appealing. We might choose that next time. It’s a fun place, probably better to go with a group.

Very nice restaurant overall. Small, nice ambiance, more quiet than most. Excellent service, Excellent food- just a small thing: one dish was very hot even though we asked for mild: make sure you are precise with your request. I am sure I could have sent it back but I hate to do that. We will definitely continue to come here!
