Incredibly friendly and efficient staff. They are all awesome! The quality of the food is top-notch. The portions are surprisingly generous, especially for the price. The menu for 4 is perfect. We thought there was not enough, but we were eating our words two hours later. Great for groups or a tête-à-tête. The ambient noise is at a perfect level, you don't need to scream to talk. The cocktails are quite good, and they have a great deal on 4. I STRONGLY recommend that you reserve if you want to go between 6 pm and 9 pm Thurs to Sun or during the summer. Can't wait to go back this summer!
