    The food was exceptional, as always, but the service was off tonight. I’ve sat at the bar before and had excellent service but tonight the server disappeared on us for stretches of time. And we were right at the bar, very odd.

    Beautiful setting, great music. We arrived for an early dinner and staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our server was very helpful explaining the menu and the food was top notch. Wonderful combinations of flavors and the tiramisu was outstanding!!

    The fried artichokes, burrata, and pasta samplers were the stars of the meal. Avoid the tuna tartare, the texture is not what you’d expect from tartare and more like a “spread” - tasted rather fishy as well. Service was great!

    GREAT EXPERIENCE! Lively ambience - Sat at bar - bartender was awesome. Fun cocktails & helpful insight for menu choices! Loved the small plates- Tuna outstanding & lamb ribs delish. Chicken Milanese perfect & bolognese to die for. No leftovers & no room for dessert. Put It on your list!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
