Was recommended the place from some people in the city, & wow am I glad we listened. Such a warm & intriguing atmosphere with live music (at least the night we went) & the open kitchen was fun to peak over at time to time. Food & drinks were outstanding, & service was welcoming & laid back - making it a very comfortable & fun night out while visiting.
