   Server was very unfriendly. Bartender cleared my items when I had just left to go talk to another table (and I let her know that I’d be back)

   Great place, quite the expense for an ok meal. Ambiance was good, but nothing amazing.

   Food was amazing! We tried crispy calamari, grilled octopus salad, wild mushroom side, and the sea bass. Also paired it with a Tamarind Mezcal margarita. Everything was so good! We highly recommend this place.

   Overpriced. Small potions. Thought the $10 side of mashed potatoes was actually butter for the table. Watch out for the 5% fee added and not given to servers but held by owner.

   Great service, very cool place, pictures don’t do it justice. Business meeting and they all loved it, drinks pricey and a bit loud but overall totally recommend.

    The restaurant is lovely and has a nice ambiance but it fell short from there. We were there celebrating my daughters 16th bday which I added to our reservation notes. We were initially taken to a terrible, cold and draft table that was too large for 3 people. We asked to move and without an issue was moved to a warmer more appropriate table for 3. We ordered hummus and pita - not much bread for the amount of pita so asked for more bread, it was a charge. The hummus was fine but the meatballs were great, recommend them. We ordered the skirt steak which was undercooked to the preference provided. We orders two pasta dishes, one boulinase was great but the penne came out as a watery mess - it was awful to look at, and tasted as poor. Not sure what happened but I think the pasta maybe not properly strained. She asked to replace it with something with vodka sauce and that came out as something that seemed cheese sauce driven. I also assumed that for a bday there would have been some fanfare with a candle or a little dessert but nada. Obviously never guaranteed but disappointing that her birthday wasn’t acknowledged. The worst part was the my older daughter suggested a lovely Italian restaurant and I was dead set on trying Paloma and the whole thing was underwhelming.
