I was really excited to check this place out. Awesome location, but super loud inside. Had to yell to have a conversation. We started with a drink at the bar.

We would’ve paid $300 + for a wonderful meal and a great evening….Go someplace else! I know places need to get the kinks out when they first open… But You’re in...
