"It’s been recently renovated and not only does it look absolutely shmick (think a cool Palm Springs vibe which is very worthy of the gram), it’s also perfectly set up for families. There’s a kids play area, for one, which is a game changer when eating out with kids, as we all know. The staff are also SUPER tolerant of loud littles, and it makes a real difference when you’re not feeling guilty that your little people are being a bit rowdy… after all, they’re kids!"
