A must. One of a kind place. Just adding to what some other people have already pointed out:
-definitely sit at the bar, you will feel like you're just having a casual dinner party at a friend's place except the food is amazing.
-for a place that is written about so much it is still very down to earth and you're not just treated as another tourist.
Overall it's just an incredible place where the people just want to make good food and have a good time without all the frills.
