    We arrived far before the time of our reservation. They were still able to seat us right away. We sat outside, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We started with beets with burrata and toast and then a pizza (great crust!). We thought about dessert but we were already plenty full with just these two dishes.

    We were 5, 3 stayed on the table and 2 on the bar and my experience at the bar was awful, female in white shirt there asked us if we just walked in and just sat at the bar, but we were actually assisted by people at the front and seated us properly at the bar, and then it felt like we were asked if we could afford the red wine we were ordering as he has to tell us the price of Bordeaux per glass. Overall left a soar taste for me. My wife and son on tha table was great but at the bar was bad experience, not sure if I would be back there soon. Definitely not our first choice anymore.
