10/10 experience across the board. The ambiance was great, we were seated in another room away from the bar (which other reviews have mentioned) and the noise level was not an issue! Everything we ate was phenomenal and the service was perfect, cannot recommend this restaurant more. We came for our anniversary and they made it a very special evening.
