Food and service excellent. Everything thing we ordered was delicious. Service was very attentive but not where you felt you were being rushed to decide on your orders. Nice, intimate atmosphere for our party of 9. Will definitely return .

The ambience was nice? Modern and clean our food was so delicious with good quality ingredients, particularly the bacon. Our waitress was so sweet and professional. It was my first time there with my friend and we had so much to talk about and didn’t feel the noise level was bad at all even with it being busy. Definitely coming here again! I got the sour dough bacon egg and cheese with aioli. It was perfect and hot.
