The food is excellent. Sitting at the Mozza bar is a lot of fun. Cocktails and wine are perfection. All of that is definitely worthy of its Michelin star. But what really elevated last night’s experience was Elyssa’s fantastic service. She gave great advice on the menu and recommended the perfect wine to go with it all.
