We had an incredible time here this past weekend for my 35th birthday. The ambiance is fabulous. The food was 10/10. The wine selection was perfect, & the cocktails were exciting & potent. The service was lovely.

My only feedback would be that the restaurant is quite loud & can be steamy in the winter.
