We had a reservation on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. Our food was fresh and flavorful. The holiday drinks were cute and tasty. Unfortunately, we were sat near the patio where they kept opening the door to tend to the customers outside making us cold. Had we been asked if we had a preference on where to sit I would have given them 5 stars in every category.
