In general all was nice at lunch; however, my pasta was too salty, and Johny, the waiter, was very nice and helpful and brought another pasta dish. I loved the Cesar salad. It’s the best !

Service was great, food was a 8.5 on a scale of 10 and given the open setting the noise level was above average. Would recommend it for a quick brunch/lunch but not for intimate or business meetings. Keep up the great work!!!
