    We were half an hour late since the traffic driving in from CT was terrible but they were really nice about it even though the restaurant was packed. We were going to to a program across the street and they rushed our dinner for us. Best brsnzino I’ve ever eaten.

    For some reason the restaurant was fully packed, the place to be! I had reservations, manager & staff are always accommodating. She said give her a minute to seat earlier guest, I opt to sit at the bar. The bartender was outstanding, very attentive. Food as alway delicious. I had to send back the zucchini chips, a bit oily for my taste, nonetheless it was no problem to switch out for truffle fries. Whenever I’m in town always my place to go for brunch, it never disappoints me!
