Good food but atmosphere a little too hip. more

Found this place while looking for an another restaurant we'd been recommended and went in as it looked nice. We weren't disappointed. A friendly waiter suggested some Portuguese wine, I described what I like as and he was spot on, his recommendation was exactly what we asked for.

She was somewhat insistent and defensive instead... more
