    Everything at dinner last night was excellent. The spanikopita was the best both of us had ever tasted and our bucatini with a lobster tail was absolutely delicious. The service was attentive even on a busy Saturday night. My only criticism would be that we were not offered the option of a 2nd glass of wine until after our entree had been eaten. A small error overall. Will definitely be back.

    We had a reservation inside for Valentine’s Day. We participated in the Love Bites menu special plus the wine pairing and special cocktail. Everything including service was fantastic. The vibe was busy, loud and the music energetic. Can’t wait to go back and eat off the regular menu. I was very happy and impressed!

    We had a nice table in the mezzanine, which we really enjoyed. We were meeting with friends who really needed to unwind from some things going on in their life. Our waiter / bartender gave us great service with time when we needed it and attention when we needed it. The food and drinks were very good. The brioche bun dessert is fantastic - highly recommend.

    Great experience and food from start to finish. Like the Brussels sprouts, brine chicken, eggplant, rice, and the beet salad with prawns. The dessert shaped like cigars were a closer.
