    Our table of 4 enjoyed 4 amazing appetizers (crispy chicken dumplings, grilled octopus, butternut fritters & pork belly), 4 delicious entrees (veal cheeks, rabbit ragu, short ribs and the pasta special), not to mention some really enjoyable cocktails. Hard to pick a favorite as everything was delicious. The menu encourages you to step outside of the box a little bit and it is so worth it. Our server, Chris, was fantastic. He gave some great recommendations, seemed to show up just when we needed him and he just added to our overall wonderful experience!
