Great food & drink, nicely prepared and presented! Great service by the waitstaff! My only complaint, one that I have with MANY restaurants, is the noise level. Once the restaurant started to fill up, it became much more difficult for us to hear each other. We will go back again, just trying to avoid crowded times!
