Our server was amazing. She was attentive and had such a beautiful smile. She came over and talked to us many times and always had that smile. The food was good and creative. The drinks were very good as well. A little loud and hard to carry a conversation but over all the services made my day.

We went on a busy night. The server was wonderful, but stretched thin between tables across the restaurant. Food came out very quick, well presented, and had lots of complexity and wonderfulness.

The service was a 5 star experience which we’ll remember for a very long time. The team who served us was very good and attentive to our needs. The only issue was the noise level hearing other customers conversations in a small dining space.
