Reservations are often recommended for groups or busy times, and easy underground parking across the street is mentioned as a convenience. A common thread is that the music can be very loud and the restaurant can feel bustling, making conversation difficult for some guests. Opinions on price vary, with some calling the meals expensive but worth it for quality, while others gripe about paying for water and the overall cost. Gluten-free options are praised by some for being well executed, while others worry about limited choices or cross contamination concerns. Service is described as attentive and friendly by many, though some visits note slower or less consistent service.View restaurant profile
