    Our table was ready but it was in a very open space right beside a large table group who were extremely loud. After 10 mins of not being able to hear one another we requested to move, which was accommodated quickly. This was greatly appreciated. Food was very good, especially the nachos and chicken Vindeloo. Service was friendly. I would go back again.

    The host greeted us warmly and let us know that a patio spot was already saved for us as I had requested it in the reservation notes. Alexandra took great care of us!!! She was friendly and charming and attentive. She gave us plenty of time for last call and our drinks and food all were great! We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare it was the best we’ve had so far and that is our usual Order. The extra olives in my martini was appreciated greatly! We had a great date night!
