We came here for Valentine's Day, and it was our first visit. Jalia was our server. The ambiance and vibe inside was relaxed and modern. The service we got from Jalia was first-class. Our food was epic, especially the baked brie appetizer. Churros for dessert! Easily 5 stars. And, they have a delicious mocktail menu to top it all off. This was a great choice for our romantic dinner, and we couldn't be happier!

Shared a quick lunch with coworkers. Although no reservations for the busy spot, our party of 4 was accommodated quickly and efficiently. The servers were patient, helpful and worked as a team to make for an enjoyable dinning experience. Overall an incredible experience
