They made us feel welcomed, and Eric was so attentive and amazing as he served 17 people. We will definitely be coming back soon Oh, and the food was amazing. Definitely take advantage of the trio dip they usually serve about four people, but they are amazing, mouthwatering, and will have you coming back for more .

Parking was nearby in a garage that offered 3 hr free parking. The staff and artistic ambience was amazing. The food was topas style but did not disappoint. We may have tried everything! I particularly enjoyed the bottomless drink option, the potatoes, buttermilk pancakes, chipotle baked eggs and the lamb & brisket kebab! I hope this helps!

Our group had a fantastic time and we look forward to returning to get to the dishes we could not today. Loved the art represented and the working artist onsite.
