Pleasantly surprised by the ambience and quality of food. We had a happy hour and dinner, and I was concerned that the dinner would be too casual, but it's a separate space from the lunch space, trendy and appropriate for business dinners. The service was outstanding from the time we walked in to the time we left. Everyone was very happy with the food. Highly recommend this spot.
