Great food, great service. We sat at the rooftop on a beautiful, sunny day. It was really nice and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We took our 4 year old daughter. It’s very family and dog friendly.

Service was very, very slow. Was there for about 45 minutes. It was not that crowded. Got seated at the bar. Took about 15 minutes to get service, another 10 minutes before I got my drink. Bartender did not come back to check on me for another 15 minutes. I ran out of time and couldn’t even order another drink.
