This place is run at a high-level with the goal of always ensuring the diners enjoys their dining experience. Shortly after placing our order, we were informed that the kitchen had no more of the lamb dish to sell. However, a few minutes later, the manager came by and let us know that the kitchen was willing to prepare and cook one for us (probably from the stock allotted for the following day). A+ customer service, and the food never disappoints.

Nice atmosphere and creative menu with good quality ingredients. Enjoyed the food. Service was very uneven. Slow and food came out at random intervals. Had to wait a long time for drinks and certain items. Worth trying for lunch.
