Reserved a table for my siblings and spouses for our yearly holiday meal together. We were a group of six. Arrived early to have some drinks in the lounge. Happy hour drinks and small plates were ordered. Service was on point and food and drinks were all delicious. Table was ready right on time. We started with two bottles of wine with help from our server. His suggestions were spot on as the wine was some of the best wines we have had previously. The food was all incredible including the octopus, meatballs, squid ink pasta, and lamb shank. Service was on point throughout the night. One nice feature we thought was unusual was the specials were communicated by the server and he stated the price of each. A nice thing to avoid sticker shock when the check arrives. All restaurants should do follow suit. Great night and will return soon.
