    Great spot! Food, service, atmosphere, all stellar. The shareable / tapas approach is lite yet flavorful, creating a great opportunity to pair dishes across pallets. Our waitress was super helpful with recommending local favorites and frequently ordered items. Everything on the menu is made in-house and you can taste the authenticity in every bite.

    The view was a 10 out of 10, but the Sunday lunch buffet was just mediocre. Joe, our waiter was amazing. He not only took care of our drinks but also helped us take a family photo.
