Not the most romantic ambiance for Valentine’s Day. Tables were very close to each other, and a photographer was moving around the dining room and taking flash photos all evening. The food was okay, but the poached egg on my wife’s bucatini was very overcooked. It was pretty disappointing.

Food was great. The restaurant was very cute and clean so no complaints on that part I think the service wasn’t the greatest. Our server was doing her best, but i definitely think they were understaffed which likely caused the long waits for food, drinks, and condiments. I would try it again just to see if it has improved :)

The hostess was unhelpful and not accommodating to our party. The woman who I assume was the Manager was great
