    The food was far better than I even expected and the service was outstanding. It’s hard to beat this beautiful location.

    Great vibe and excellent service. The food was interchangeable with every other small plate place in town - good enough but not interesting. The service and ambiance was really great. Will definitely come back for a drink and an appetizer.

    On arrival we were given a table well outside the the dining area and in the complete dark. Not even a candle to see the menu. The hostess was quite rude when we asked for a different table telling us to go get our menus. Once seated elsewhere the drinks and food was Amazing although we could barely hear each other over the noise. Highly recommend the food but be careful where they seat you at night
