    We’ve been here many times, I think Valentine’s Day made it not quite as smooth of an experience as usual. The cocktails were top notch, the sablefish risotto was fantastic, pizza amazing as always, the burger was good but not as good as previous ones. My only negative comment on this restaurant is the metal chair legs on the concrete floors are horrendously noisy and it takes away from the atmosphere. Still love this place and truly understand the Michelin Recommended!

    Loved it. Staff is SUPER friendly and always looking after your well-being. They separated our salad into separate dishes knowing that we were sharing (without our request) and had the tongs ready to go to share our pastas. The pasta portions were large and definitely worth it. Affogato to finish!

    The service was great. We had a mixup in our reservation but they were able to accommodate a group of 6 despite the kitchen closing. The hospitality and service was much appreciated. The food was excellent. Certainly recommend.
