The restaurant was nicely decorated and I think it would be lovely in the summer when you can see outside. It was crowded and extremely loud, making it very hard to hold a conversation. The sound seemed to echo off the glass and ceiling. The food was good, if pricey. Two of our party loved the blood orange margaritas, and everyone raved about dessert.
