It was fun. I’d say the booking and hostess experience was a little to crisp for my taste. That’s a customer’s first experience and, in this case it just wasn’t very friendly nor was it top notch service. I got a you’re lucky if we add an extra chair for a five top , not how can we help you vibe .. it’s a good restaurant, but in the end, it should be about my experience

Very interesting cuisine presented on a menu with type so small that a microscope would trump a magnifying glass to read it. Waitress was helpful in guiding our selections. Music loud enough to make conversation a challenge. The food will cause us to go there again.
