    Beautiful and chic space. The appetizers were divine especially that they were accommodating in adding an ingredient to the bruschetta that is not included on the menu. Entrees were perfect and tasty. The drinks did their job. I left happier than I came.

    Lovely dining room ; food was delicious; servers seemed to be in training so they were a little slow but trying hard. Although our reservation for 8 on open table was made several days ahead, the wait staff did not appear to have had notice but again, they were trying very hard … We will go back!
