Really great spot! It’s beautifully decorated and ambient brilliant! I think the food is bistro delightfully in the right direction. The timing of food to the table could use some attention. I ordered an entree and my guest a salad and and an app. Their food came out within 5 minutes and we had to send it back, as clearly my food would take longer for us to dine together. This is not a huge deal, just requires the waiters to have a bit more understanding of their guest and timing of service. Go here!! the food, and drinks are spot on!!

This restaurant is amazing. Full stop. We got lost in good food, drink and conversation! Such sumptuous surroundings as well. Shout out to the bar staff and our server, as always.
