    Lovely & tasty, as always. We had a super helpful young lady waiter. She was delightful. Food is always excellent. We went on the early side — 11:30 — so at first it was wonderfully quiet and even as things picked up & families came in with children, it was not too loud ever, just festive.

    We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

    Fantastic! We order one appetizer and three small plates. All were excellent. The lamb was the standout dish. Sous chef Louis also makes a tremendous Chocolate Tanini Brownie.
