    This is my wife and I's new favorite restaurant. The focaccia and burrata was a SPIRITUAL experience. That is, without exaggeration, the best bread I have ever had. Unbelievable. Our server Brandon was delightful. The place was super hip, the pizza and main course were excellent. Just a wonderful restaurant.

    We were very pleased with the delicious meal we made from several small plates/appetizers, which were all perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Among the stars were the meatballs, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. But do not leave without trying the Cracked Potatoes, little chunks that are pillowy soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with something that added an addictive umami kick. We also found cocktails and wine that perfectly complemented our diverse assortment of dishes.

    Discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have been there twice now, before a play at Pantages. Their pizza is great and we enjoyed their mixed drinks also. Great service and nice ambiance. It does get very crowded at around 6pm, but we get there at around 5:30, so we get seated immediately, especially with reservations. We will be back.
