The dining room seemed very loud so we were seated on the patio. Lovely and much quieter even with the nearby freeway. The food was excellent, service was attentive, but not annoying. There were lots of gluten-free options. We will be back!

It was lunch for 4 to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Initially I was seated in main dining room, but we moved into the bar/restaurant dining room with a view of the patio and outdoors (much better). The food was good, and we did some combos and some appetizers. I will definitely go again.
