Waiter was polite and attentive. Service was prompt. Tabletop devices/ordering was a bit confusing (When to use it? Not use it?). Food was great/delicious.

I love this place and have been coming here since it opened. The food is still fantastic, best tiramisu in Seattle. However, the service was a bit inattentive. I also had an aperol spritz and it was the tiniest, weakest one I’ve ever had and it was $15. The price was pretty standard, but it was like 1/2 the size of a normal one (I’ve had one here before and it was not this tiny.) and had very little aperol. It should be a 3-2-1 ratio, Prosecco 3, aperol 2, soda 1. But this was more like 2-1-3. But overall I still love it here.
