This was a fun experience and excellent ambience. This place would be great for date night. We met for small plates and drinks after work and it was perfect. Centrally located and delicious food. Sitting outside on the rooftop is a treat. Very friendly staff and quick service. Will be back!

Atmosphere was nice, however the food was average at best. Don’t get me wrong, it was tasty, but definitely not for that price point. There are many smaller owned business in the area that deserve the hype this place gets. The staff was great and friendly, but definitely not worth the price.

We noted on our reservation that we were celebrating my sister’s birthday, but unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t offer any special acknowledgement or treatment during our visit
