Our server David was fabulous, as well as all of his supports. We were seated upstairs which was lovely, and we had the whole floor to ourselves for about half of our dinner. Although the menu choices are not extensive, everything we ordered was super yummy!

Sunday brunch inside reservation. It was LOUD with screaming children. Waiter couldn’t hear us, we couldn’t hear each other. We waited for a table outside and were reseated in about 15 minutes. From then on everything was good: service, food, and ambiance.
