This place is outstanding. The food is exceptional, Rebecca the mixologist is amazing and the cocktails are spectacular. I truly love this place. Each time the menu changes and the menu this time was delicious. The outside patio is the most quiet. The room with tables and sofas is a little loud as the tables are so close to one another, you can listen to all conversations, but the other rooms are wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant!
