    All of our servers were polite and efficient, refilling our water a couple of times, which was nice since the carafe was on our table for self service. The lunch portions were hearty and very tasty. The colorful decor was pleasing with my only critique being that they crammed everybody in on one side of the restaurant with no table gaps. I understand server efficiency, but I think it made the room louder than it needed to be. The ladies next to us scooted closer together instead of sitting on opposite sides of the small, round table so that they could hear each other. The other half of the restaurant was completely empty so it would have been nice to space us out, particularly the larger groups. All in all an enjoyable meal, though.

    Sweet little spot with a creative menu. The plates are visually striking. The stuffed dates! The crab cake! The beef tartare! Having half bottles on the list is not often seen, but it’s a great way to try a few different bottles for date night! Daniel did a great job and was very informative. The ambiance of this place will bring me back again!

    The black cod was perfectly cooked with a fantastic accompanying sauce. Great choice of wines by the glass. The truffle ham and cheese croquettes were a great start.
