Service was good, food was average. Avocado toast was almost too hard to cut. Space was crowded and loud, and they had music playing over the noise so it was hard to hear the conversation.

First, the bad news: Overall, I realize that this restaurant is in an upscale area. However, in today's economy, the prices were high for Italian food. Having been in the restaurant business, the mark up on pasta is absolutely outrageous. They could easily mark the entire menu down by 15-20% and still make a killing in that area. Now for the good news: Katie was our server and she was fantastic. She was attentive without hovering and provided great guidance on the menu. There were also a couple mishaps, for example, they served the wrong side dish with an order, but between Kenny the assistant manager and Katie, they made the whole night worthwhile. They were gracious and generous and provided excellent service. Katie even joked about the dip that came with the focaccia, whipped ricotta with lemon and honey, in that you could just eat that with a spoon and nothing else, and she was spot on. If not for the rock hard end of the focaccia, the dish would have been perfect. Charging $8 for bread, it should have been perfect. We did not raise this issue as they had been so incredibly gracious about everything else. Bottom line: I would recommend this restaurant but go in with your eyes open. It is expensive AND make sure you have reservations. Thank you Katie and Kenny for your service.

Not worth the hype or difficulty getting a reservation. Food we had was bland to moderate in taste, not worth the cost. Atmosphere was great, but would not be a repeat customer, left dissatisfied.
