    Really enjoyed brunch. It's been awhile since I've visited, but I see the food is still as great as ever! Chicken and waffle combo was super good, service was very courteous and prompt. So glad they've implemented online reservations. All staff I encountered were really nice and they make you feel welcome.

    I love this resturant. Everything about it is excellent! I’m not sure even where to begin. From appetizers to salad to main entree, there is nothing not to like. The service is always excellent. The Tuscany Campora 2021 is an excellent bottle of wine to pair with your meal. Well worth money spent especially for a special occasion.

    It was generally a really nice experience. The best thing was definitely the servers - they were super attentive and kind. The kitchen staff was really accommodative since I don't eat dairy and meat. That said, there was so much sand in my mussels. The dish tasted great, but I didn't get one bite without sand. I carefully scooped the broth, since I could hear/feel all the sand on the bottom of my plate. It was pretty off putting to be honest. My husband enjoyed his pork, but it was lacking carbs. The wine was great! It's a small, curated drinks menu that was quite interesting and delicious. If you're sensitive to noise, this is not the place. The ambience is generally nice, but it's extremely noisy and you can barely hear what the person across from you is saying, which is probably why everyone is speaking so loudly.
