First time here for a party on the rooftop. Decided to get a table after seeing the reviews. Alexa greeted us and was so accommodating. Even after I requested a different table she was amazing. But the food is truly the star. Clams Oreganata were superb and a perfect way to start. We followed with the Seafood Risotto which was perfectly cooked and full of tender seafood. We finished with the Pork chop and peppers and I have never had a pork chop so tender and favorable. The party was fun and the music on point but the best part of the evening was the food and of course Alexa.
