    I have been here before and had a great experience however last night for Valentine’s Day the mark was missed. To start off there was nothing on the website or when making the reservation to say there was a prefixed menu. I was looking forward to access to their full menu and it seems as others were surprise with the menu as well. The food was ok and very small portions. The lemon drop martini was good.

    Overall very satisfying. Drinks and food on point! Would definitely recommend it. However when you hear the specials from the waiter, make sure you order it before they run out… really wanted to try the bone in veal special but by the time they took my order they claimed they were sold out already…

    The appetizers, including an arugula salad and a mussels and clam broth, were good, but not out of this world. The main dishes were disappointing, especially the gnocchi. The sauce was very off-putting, and both my friend and I could not stomach more than 10 pieces of gnocchi combined. The service was mid, as a lot of the servers don’t understand English very well. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, just ask again, I’ll be patient and say it a different way. Don’t serve me the wrong dessert, box the wrong dessert, pour me sparkling instead of flat water when I wanted flat, and get me a box for the leftover gnocchi that I don’t want. Even if English is difficult to understand—and I get it, it’s a bad language, surely me shaking my head and waving my hand “no” and “stop” should get it across? Just a confusing experience overall with no highlights.
