    Starting off, George was amazing, and provided fantastic service. Ambience was cozy, sleek, and spacious, not over crowed tables, feels intimate. Food is incredible. We had the tuna tartar, so fresh and clean with buttery avocado, positano pizza was thin, crisp, and the perfect subtle ratio of sweet and salty. Cacio e pepe was al dente and creamy. Beet salad was fresh and bright, with juicy beets, Crunchy smoked almonds and slightly peppery arugala, the calamari was tender and a perfect amount of breading, not to heavy, very light. Short rib empanadas were perfect little meaty bites with a flaky crust and herbacious chimmichuri. All in all, would definitely come back to try one of the fire grilled meats and the charcuterie board...would also like to try the lobster tail. Oh, and the tiramisu was out of this world!!!

    The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.

    Christmas Magic Our dining experience was golden. The atmosphere was over the top, literally with giant snowflakes, golden ornaments sparkling everywhere. We had a smile on our face the whole evening. Our food was delicious. I had the filet again because it's that good. My friends had the salmon. I tried the 1/2 Caesar salad, the best I’ve had in years. We got a side of crispy red potatoes and garlic bread with dipping au jus. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. They give you umbrellas to use because every hour on the hour Christmas music starts to play and it snows!!!! So much fun. To top it all off we had the Baked Alaska flambé. Our waiter poured a flaming blue caramel sauce over our dessert. What a show! My only regret was we shared it and I didn’t get my own. LOL!! Excellent place for a date night, but a must see for everyone to get in the Christmas spirit. PS We loved our waiter Michael he gave us exceptional service .

    Consistently excellent restaurant. Service and food are 5 star and elevated. Ambiance is lively and beautiful. Great location to meet people for a dinner or a drink. Noise level is perfect- festive, but can hear each other.
