    The cioppino was outstanding, we sat in the bar so service lacked a bit. We received our appetizer before water and cocktails, the table was small and dishes stacked up without a busser. The server had a hard time hearing us (or understanding us) so I ended up with another cocktail when I asked the server to take my empty glass away to free up table space. I did drink and pay for it, but didn’t order it. It was very loud but overall an average experience for a $230 meal for two. This was our second time here, not sure there will be a third.

    Amazing food and service!! I had the lamb chops and they were so tender and delicious, I would highly recommend this place for special events or for just an evening out with your special someone.

    Came here for the Valentines Day menu and it was just fine. Tough to know if the food is usually better. Warm Cesar salad wasn’t good at all; it was soggy and had very little dressing. Lobster carbonara was good, but not as delicious as it looked. Service was also a bit slow, though very polite and friendly.

    This place is excellent! Prices are good. I liked that the wine list had many different wine available by glass, that was nice to see. Busy place, but seated as we walked in the door. Valet park at “Mozambique” and walk a very short distance to the restaurant, 1 min walk tops. Make that reservation, highly recommended. This is our 2nd time here since last year.
