| - We were there last night (fri). Called last minute to see if table for 2 is available but was told we probably can only sit at the bar, we were fine with that.
Arrived around 7ish, have 2 options: the bar or chef table. Of course the chef table!

Service Score: 95
- we really enjoyed our chef table experience, we can feel the heat to their stove, that'll how close we were to the food and chef cooking in the kitchen
- chef in the kitchen occasionally will talk to us our answer our questions on his cooking style and ingredients
- we also see them in action when the place was packing up, great team work in such little amount of space
- our food did come a little slower, but we were pre-occupied with all the action in front of us
- we even saw Chef Harding in action, he was greeting guest and plating most of the time, he came by often to ask how our food was, we can tell he took pride in his menu and saw him a little upset when certain clients wanted to change his menu
Atmosphere Score: 90
- It is rustic, the floor do need some work, but it will be a nice place for date night or a group of friends to hang out...or sit at the chef table for some action
Overall score: 89
We will be back!!!
