    The staff was excellent, the waiter came through with an excellent cocktail recommendation - I was looking for a sangria which they did bot have but had a wine free take on a sangria that was amazing and hit the spot perfectly. The food was amazing and the price was very reasonable. Loved the vibe, the decor and the place as a whole. Would love to go back and enjoy the basement lounge next time.
