Great food and ambience. Service was incredible. The staff was very kind and let us be seated even after we were late to our reservations. Week day happy hour at the bar is an incredible deal as well. We definitely will recommend the place to others and keep it on our list for when we next visit the city.

We were made to wait 15 minutes for our 8 pm reservation with no real place to stand and no offer of a drink or something on the house as an apology. That said, once seated, the food was good, the service was prompt and friendly and there certainly was a lively atmosphere.

First time here and very happy with the meal. In addition to the excellent food and service, we were impressed with their interior design downstairs, using glass and fabrics to give the illusion of being seated on the main level.
