Sam’s Take
Loved the texture on the tots, surprisingly into the endive salad, and the carrot cake frosting slapped. Would go back annually—spendy but worth it with friends.
Amy’s Take
Server was a star and pesc options were easy. Music swap was weird but memorable. Great for 2–4 people when you want to linger and try a bunch of plates.
