    Stylish & chic with exceptional service. Lovely after theater spot for drinks & small plates off of the bar menu. The POLPETTE DI BRASATO ( short rib meatballs ) were perfectly seasoned, slightly crisp in a delicious braised meat sauce . The BRUSCHETTA DI ZUCCA ( butternut squash caponata ) was also delicious.

    My husband and I came here as part of our wedding anniversary trip and they were all so sweet. We had a reservation (definitely recommend) and unfortunately we had to wait a little bit after our reservation time. But they were very attentive to us & even gave us a free appetizer & dessert. The food & drinks were absolutely delicious. I could not recommend the food enough!!! They were so kind & so generous!!

    Indi (Indigo) made our experience SO WONDERFUL. I went here for the first time with one of my girls, got the restaraunt week 3-course meal for the low, AND a great mocktail (as I’m expecting). Indi was kind, open, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable of the restaurant, and it’s other locations. I cannot wait to go back with another friend or two!
