Cocktails were inventive and we enjoyed then. Had the burrata and butternut squash appetizer. It was interesting but lacked in burrata. There was very little compared to the amount of squash. I had the bolegnese with fusilli. It was good but not spectacular my husband had the special pasta with caviar. He loved it. It was very good overall but not great.
