This restaurant is awesome! We arrived late at 8:25 pm, and they still took order for us even though they close at 9 pm. Also, we love the server (a girl with short hair, called Lydian? cuz she is super friendly and took great care of our meal: The tiramisu and squid entree are so delicious! My husband ordered the lamb entree and he loved it too! Highly recommend!!! I would visit again and try their cocktail next time.
