    Fabulous meal start to finish. Our family of five arrived early for our dinner reservations. We were welcomed to sit at the bar. The staff allowed us to enjoy our bottle of wine and order when ready, no rush, no pressure. We ordered from the prix fixed menu. The beet salad and burrata were delicious. For the main course we had the branzino and lobster pappardelle. Fabulous! Dessert we chose the lavender panna cotta and tiramisu. Simply scrumptious. Service was impeccable. Beautiful decor, fresh flowers and candles on all the tables. The little details add up to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I would eat here again and again.
