    Was very excited to try this spot! We got the Wagyu steakhouse set (honestly for the price it wasn’t worth it, it was very tasty but I could’ve easily eaten it by myself and not shared with my date (Im 29F)) thankfully we ordered a lot of things to be able to try the menu! Oysters were FANTASTIC very fresh & tasty. I’d pass on the egg soufflé really just a soft scramble, fairly basic but a large servicing (could be a good breakfast as a lil steak & eggs ensemble). They had a special for valentines which was a sweet potato hash with pork belly which was delightful but a fairly small serving. Drinks were good, I got a basic gin martini but it was made to perfection, my date got the ‘perilla in Oaxaca’ it was tasty but a bit sweet for our liking. The dishes that stole the show… Korean fried chicken.. cooked to absolute perfection! Not too greasy, amazing crunch & the soy garlic glaze was phenomenal (huge serving too) & lastly the kimchi fried rice was divine. The blue cheese leveled up the dish exceptionally well. I 11/10 recommend those dishes if you’re going! We left comfortably full with leftovers.

    We went here after getting married at city hall and the staff made this such a wonderful experience! They put flowers at our table and wrote us a handwritten card with complimentary Prosecco. Great service and food, and they were accommodating to our party of 12. Would recommend to anyone!

    I booked a Valentine’s reservation over a month in advance, it was easy to book. Unfortunately it snowed moderately the day of the reservation and since I was driving from Indiana. It took a LOT longer to get there than expected. I called Fioretta, they said it was okay, that they would be able to make it work. Mind you, I got there an hour late. They still honored my reservation. The service was great and the food came out promptly. Meatballs lacked seasoning, shrimp scampi was 100/10. Crab bisque and burrata with peppers were both mid. 24oz ribeye was looked perfectly however it was too salty. They even brought extra seasoning that they used on the ribeye so we can add as we please. But there was no need as the salt overpowered everything. The marscapone whipped potatoes were also 100/10. Olive oil cake with gelato was 100/10, my server recommended it and recommended a bite with a little gelato and a piece of the cake, it was delicious. Tiramisu was mid. The cocktails all had good flavors but they lacked layers. They were for the most part all 1 note. So overall, get the shrimp scampi and the whipped potatoes forsure. I also think they can bring the $$$$$ down a notch- it doesnt match the mid quality of the food.

    My partner and I dined here on Valentine's Day - the host was super friendly and the restaurant accommodated us when we were stuck in heavy traffic due to the snow. Omar, our server, was very nice and the service was great. The food came out quick and was soooo yummy! The spaghetti carbonara and chicken were so good! Would totally go here again :)
