First time at this restaurant for 3 of the 4 diners. Beautiful bar, friendly staff. Food is served family style. Two full orders fed our party of four. Service was great, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal. A little loud but not so much that we couldn’t have a regular conversation and hear each other. We will definitely be going back again. Highly recommend.
