    First time dining here. Even though it was lunch time(12:45pm) on a Monday, there seemed to be quite a few diners. Mainly business/office team lunches. Service was attentive and our orders came out quite fast. Cocktails looked interesting and wine menu had plenty of choices by the glass or bottle
