The food was excellent as always. But we felt more cramped as so many more tables were added. There were rows of 5+ tables of 2 stacked a few inches apart, so we felt a loss of intimacy. But the restaurant got more packed, so it's popular, with a slightly different vibe.

Food was so good. Novel takes on cocktails. Accommodating to food allergies Good overall service. Service great until it got super busy then lagged a bit. Not a big deal. We sat at the high top in the window next to the door. Cold tonight. We would have been better off, making a reservation in further in advance and getting a table in the dining room proper.
