    My wife and I enjoyed our dinners, but have decided to dine a bit later than we did this time to let the "Happy Hour" bar crowd thin out. It was quite loud at times, perhaps just from one group of people, but none-the-less loud. Food was good as was the service.

    Food and service were perfect. Lots of noise coming from the bar area. Hard to hear each other talk.

    Food was perfectly prepared although not as hot as I like. Brocolli rabe was a little undercooked for my taste. Service was perfection with Kate. Cucumber martini was fantastic. Chocolate Mousse dessert was to die for! We highly recommend coming here!

    This restaurant is an absolute gem! The service is impeccable, with delightful servers, especially Cate, who went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. The food is simply outstanding, not just in taste but also in its presentation. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable meal.
