Thoughts:

This restaurant was the talk of town, so were initially worried about it being over hyped. We had a reservation, but arrived early and had to just line up for a short bit before getting seated. Service was impeccable and friendly, crowd eating there was also a cool group. Food was very delicious, full of flavour! Portion sizes were also decent, we were definitely full at the end, too full for dessert.
