We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

Vibrant flavors with unique preparation. Enjoyed the cauliflower app especially. Desserts amazing and worth saving room for the pistachio tiramisu cake and rich chocolate cake. French press coffee a nice touch. Wine choices were disappointment given there are so many nice options from those same grapes/regions. Mezcal margarita was much better! Will be back someday.

Food was outstanding, perfect for special holiday outing. Our experience did not lend itself to accommodating (even well behaved) children (service demeanor, food accommodations, etc). Surprised to see tip included for “large party” despite having only 5 in our party. Despite, I do highly recommend for adult dining.
