Great food and service! The cocktails need a little bit more love and creativity. The noise level is deafening at times because of the open loft space. Otherwise great place to gather and eat

Easily my favorite restaurant. I prefer the patio, though the interior of the restaurant is really nice, because of the pottery and plant life and general atmosphere. The wait staff was attentive to our needs and accommodated our large party with ease. It was a great experience and we will of course be going back soon. Also, it’s delicious!
