    Food was amazing, we tried almost everything. The service was a bit slow after we got our food and the people by us were drunk and loud, it was very nice after they left. Music was enjoyable. We will definitely be back. One thing i wished I knew before we went is you have the option to cook your own steaks or you can have them cook it for you.

    The music on the patio was pleasant, but WAY TOO LOUD to have conversation. I had looked up the menu online before going for the first time and was disappointed that the menu I viewed was not available at "brunch". My group went for lunch. Jason, our waiter, was pleasant and accommodating to our requests. The decor is nice and intentional. The patio ambience was very pleasant.
