I'm rounding up because the food was well executed, the menu decent, cocktails good. Definitely a great place for a nicedate. Service was right on as well.

I've never been out to dinner with friends before where every single person ate every single scrap of food on their plate, but it was verywarranted; no one wanted to waste a morsel!

There issignage taking about how privacy is a privilege that we take for granted, etc. etc. It is some sort of art exhibit, I believe.While a worthwhile topic to address, for sure, but if changing your tampon while some random dude leers at you is not your cupof tea, then you might want to go elsewhere
