Fabulous service and food. Not a cheap place, but not expensive either - I thought it was very good value given the quality of food, especially given the location. Always busy, need to prebook - saw people getting turned away when we arrived on a Tuesday evening. Service was great, we had multiple waiters and waitresses serving in our area which gave much better service for drinks and clearing tables than I’ve had many places with a single waiter.
