    Food is amazing! I would definitely go again. The only issue is the place is looking very used and the layout is becoming sloppy. Examples: They have all their stored silverware, plates, condiment jars showing right in front of where you eat, the lights to the grills are so bright and shine onto the tables and the bathrooms have chipping paint, caulking around the sink is broke. Again, still a wonderful place and recommend but I wish they would maintain it a little better.

    Food and drinks are always phenomenal, the “outside” seating is not my favorite.

    Still have never had any plate that was less than wonderful . The variety of proteins and availability of nonmeat courses is excellent. Attentive service and about a dozen varied signature cocktails make the dining experience very enjoyable.

    Every dish we had was fantastic. Very flavorful . Loved their watercress Berros salad and the burrata fish dish. Music level was a bit too loud. Waiter was great although the rest of the service could use more training. Overall, great place

    Wonderful food and service. I will absolutely go back. Only complaint is the restaurant is too small-we had nowhere to wait for our table . We were hovering over the diners. Small bar was full and also on top of patrons dining. It was uncomfortable for us and the people at the table.This restaurant is packed for all the right reasons. Make it bigger
