The food was excellent and came out quick! The service was friendly and helpful. The price range is about $20-40 but incredibly worth it for the quality of the food.

The food and drinks were good as was the overall atmosphere. The service was great as well, the server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The tables are very close together, so we could hear the conversations from the tables next to us, and viceversa. That ruined the mood of an otherwise good experience.

The limited time squid ink gnocchi with lobster was amazing. The wait staff truly works as a team, timely picking up dishes and ensuring that your needs are met. They also were super knowledgeable of the menu, so much so I ventured with a gin cocktail (I hate gin) and found that the gin was just like the waiter described (well masked). 10/10
