Loved this place!! Food is all amazing. We got the burger (to die for), the short rib, and the crispy spicy cauliflower. The ambiance is great for groups or a date. I went with one of my girlfriends and it was lively but not so loud I couldn’t hear her. Service was excellent too. All well done, we will definitely be back.

It's deceptively easy to end up in Bordel instead! Which is pleasant, but unexpected.
