    Yolan was amazing! From the moment we arrived they were very accommodating. Came over and took our costs and brought my wife a hook for her pocketbook. Jake took care of us and he was so friendly and helpful. Wonderful server. Great wine list. Very extensive but almost all Italian wines. The service was top notch. And the food was delicious. My wife had the halibut and she loved it. I had the Dover sole (whole fish). It was fileted and very large. We could have shared it. All in all, one the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while.

    Noko was fantastic and our waiter Mitch was the man. Really appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail on our entire experience. It was our first time and we will definitely be coming back. My wife and I guy 7 different dishes and Mitch gifted us one he didn’t want us to miss out on. Best of the Best: Tuna Crispy Rice, Lobster Bao Buns, Korean Hot Wings, Brussels Good: Burrata - maybe a little too sweet with the jam. Not our favs: bone marrow, crab fried rice Overall this experience was awesome and the entire menu sounded fire. Great date night spot!

    I absolutely adore this spot! Definitely an underrated place for dinner. The food is fantastic, the sharing experience is collaborative sparking conversation, the interior is intimate and cozy, and the service is kind and helpful. The Christmas decorations really added a cozy and wonderful aspect to the entire dinner. This is not my first time as it is hard to not want to come back. My favorite dishes are the croquettes, garlic bread and the radiatori vodka. 10/10! My one slight disappointment would be in the inability to split the check. Otherwise fantastic!
