    All in all a very good experience. Had drinks at the bar prior to seating (and were offered options of inside/outside when it was time to sit)- the young man that handled the majority of our bar time was excellent. If I’m nitpicking, as someone that tended bar for 20+ years, the Pisco Sour left a bit to be desired (and was made by the other gentleman). Food was excellent! Waiter and support staff were also terrific, even after I knocked over a glass of wine!
