Beautiful ambience, large, and bright. Definitely an energetic atmosphere inside; was very busy. Wait staff were quite slow. Portions were disappointingly small for the value but tasty. Definitely not a place for an intimate first date as the noise level was quite high, although we were there at a busy time. I would go back and order something else, which is hopefully a little bit more substantial than what I had for my brunch meal.
