    First timer, enjoyed the ambiance and food. Only caveat is that the restaurant couldn’t accommodate my mushroom allergy so I couldn’t order what I really wanted.

    The food is amazing! I’ve loved everything I’ve ever tried here. Tonight I got the pesto chicken pasta and it was delicious. One of my friends got the butternut squash ravioli and another friend got the seafood pasta. Both friends also loved their dinners. Whitney was our server and she was amazing. Very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. This is one of my favorite dinner spots.
