    We loved everything we ordered. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious and flavorful. Everything served was impeccable. The service was excellent and was made even more special by Edgar. We’re happy we chose to celebrate our 7th anniversary here. The establishment is truly deserving of its michelin star.

    Reservation was easy to check in, they called me and sat us right away. The dining room has a great private atmosphere. It was pretty loud and I wasn’t able to hear the person I was dining with frequently. The food was delicious though. The bucatini pasta dish was amazing and the tiramisu was delicious. They gave a large portion of the tiramisu.

    Took our friends to dinner to celebrate their recent wedding and our wedding anniversary. Had the chef’s tasting with wine pairings. Everything was exceptional. The food was excellent and the wine pairings were perfect. The service was fantastic as well. Overall, a wonderful experience. We will definitely return. Unlike some of the Michelin starred restaurants we have visited in Europe, this is a more relaxed experience which we appreciated.

    Always stellar. The server treated us with two pieces lump crab roll since our favorite foie gras is —understandably—no longer available.
