Started with a lavender margarita & fried artichoke. For the main, I got the pork chop served over peaches & cabbage. (I haven’t stopped thinking about that chop since … 😋) My sister got the sea bass, also scrumptious. We ended the meal splitting a chocolate torte. Can’t wait to come back & dive a little deeper into the menu."

It’s a lively place, but the noise level doesn’t suppress conversation. Excellent cocktails, adequate wine list"
