Music in the restaurant is amazing, super vibes and the perfect volume. Cocktails are outstanding. Food is great as well. We had the chefs menu (55$ per person) and it came with 7 courses. The first 3 were great on their own but when put back to back it became very salty. (Anchovies on toast, olives, pickled vegetables, salad with salty vinaigrette). 3 dishes that are salt forward following each other was a little much. So the rest of the dishes were a welcome variation of flavour.
