First time. Nice ambiance, a little noisy. The waiting staff was good and very nice, but due to under staffing it took very long to get drinks and appetizers. Food is pricey, but it was very good.

Very friendly service and fast. Clean place. Date night and lunch date approved. We had the octopus and prosciutto pizza. Amazing. We wake up stil talking about the octopus was so flavorful. You can taste everything from the chickpeas , the peppers, celery and all. Add a hot honey drizzle on the pizza for a little razzle dazzle.

They sat us at a table right off but almost in the lobby. It was uncomfortable and felt like we were on display for everyone coming in and out or waiting for their table. We ordered egg roll appetizers that looked good, but didn't have much flavor and the rolls were gummy on the inside. The blandness of the food continued through the entire meal of fish and chips and pasta. This was our first visit and it wasn't the best experience. The server was excellent and the manager did give us a $10 discount. The bill with meal and 2 beers was over $100.

Although we booked a high-top table, they gave us (couple) a regular table for four, so we didn't complain about that. Interior is beautiful. Our waitress provided an excellent service. We enjoyed our foods and drinks, although they're priced on the high side. The place is very busy and noisy (at least downstairs where we were - not the place for a romantic quiet dinner), but we were never rushed (which we appreciated). Overall, we enjoyed it and will be back, hopefully then a high-top table or even better, upstairs (under an open roof) or at the outside patio at ground level.

Food was mediocre and the prices were very high for what you got. Server was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I wouldn’t return for a meal but would meet friends for a drink.
