Seating was prompt on a busy Saturday. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks were great and appetizers came quickly. Food was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Only ding is that I’m not a fan of high top tables. We’ll definitely put this place in the rotation.

We had a lovely dinner before the DSO. The seared salmon was excellent and our server was swift, polite, friendly. My only complaint was the noise level seated near the bar area made it difficult to talk.
