    Isabelle our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and so kind. Everything she recommended was delicious. Yellowtail and whipped feta appetizers were both amazing.

    Dinner was perfect. Great staff. Menu is wonderful. Love the decor. I loved the beef cheek Ragu. It was exceptional. My guest has the rigatoni. The portion was big enough he took leftovers home. We ate there twice in one week.

    Great food and service but I found it strange and tacky that there is grey duct tape covering half of the lighting so it doesn’t shine in patrons eyes 👀 There’s got to be a better way- black matte tape?

    We sat at one of the low tables in front of the restaurant because my husband uses a walker and cannot navigate stairs easily. The chairs are a bit too low for the table and more suited to a cocktail lounge than for dining. We love A’s and this location, but suggest different chairs if you ever replace the furniture. The service was amazing and food is always delicious!
