The food was fantastic. A great variety and very flavorful. We had 5 different dishes and every one of them was delicious. The cocktail we had was also very tasty....unique and awesome. The service was great. The only downside was that as the evening wore on, the temps outside reached 68 and the doors remained open making us quite cold, which was uncomfortable. After awhile, we couldn't wait to leave because it wasn't very pleasant being so cold. I think closing the doors as the sun goes down and the temperatures (particularly, in the winter) decrease, it's time to close the doors. Nobody has their homes exposed to the outside when it's 68 degrees out!!
