Great good with a nice ambience.. Staff were nice and attentive.. hoping for more items added to menu..
Great service! It was my first time in the district and got lost while searching for the restaurant and the staff was out to look for us. Food was 100% gluten free which was a pleasant surprise to my friend from overseas as she has Celiac disease and had trouble searching for gluten-free food or places that is contaminated with gluten food. Kitchen was a open concept and staff was friendly and thoughtful. I would definitely be back again.
