    We ordered the 5 course dinner menu and everything was flawless, the agnelotti and the potato side dish to the steak being the highlight for us. We had the desserts changed (for a small fee) and did not regret (neither me nor my wife are super fans of apple desserts). The only asterisk for us is that the wine pairing did not include a glass to pair with the agnelotti, which left us wondering if we should have added the two pairings or if we should have just ordered a bottle. Other than that, again, everything was amazing and I would definitely return for a giant agnelotti plate

    This restaurant was a last minute choice, and was definitely the right choice. We ended up getting one of the last reservations of the night. Food was delicious and presentation was beautiful! Service was on point. Cost was worth what you pay for. Parking is hard to find, save extra time to find a spot or there is an Ace parking lot only about a block from the restaurant, that only cost us $13. Overall, great experience!!
