    Another good dining experience for birthday/Valentines dinner. Had the brussels & cauliflower appetizer and truffle gnocchi w/ shrimp and the marinara/alfredo "winter special" entrees - both very flavorful. Finished the meal with basque cheesecake. Our server Amalie (sp?) was spot on all evening!

    Fantastic experience! Daniel the host took great care of us when we ended up coming late from North Shore. Garret, our server was very attentive, and even grabbed us our parking validation when he gave us our check. Great service and even better food! The miso on the salmon is out of this world! Maybe a little too much kale with the ahi haha! Overall fantastic experience!
