   We ordered a mix of starters and sides to share as appetizers they were by far the best part of the meal. The seafood dishes particularly the salmon were overcooked. The service was fine but not exceptional. I would certainly give this place another chance.

   It was okay, just okay. In my opinion, doesn’t live up to the hype, ordered a couple things to try a little of everything, wasn’t impressed with much. Cesar salad is terrible, meatballs are great and the octopus isn’t worth it either, they claim it’s a specialty, I don’t agree.

   I really wanted to like this place but the food was a BIG MISS. Our drinks were fine nothing blew us away. Ambiance was great! Really nice interior, felt like a very exclusive place with lots of people in smart casual attire. Food was all very bitter. The salmon was bland, lacked salt and the crust felt like it was a separate side dish and not a part of the fish. The gnocchi was the best part - would’ve taken a plate of that instead. The charred filet tasted like acrimony and the mushrooms with it were bitter. No creaminess or umami taste - maybe I ordered wrong. The polenta was the best thing we had and it was actually over salted. Service was fine, but expected at this establishment. Idk if we’ll go again. Not worth the $300 bill for two but not a bad value for an appetizer, 4 drinks, two entree and a side dish.

   Hi Branden, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. While I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and found the gnocchi and polenta to stand out, I’m truly sorry the rest of the meal didn’t meet your expectations. We aim for every dish to feel balanced and thoughtfully composed, and it’s clear we missed the mark for you—especially on the salmon and filet. Your comments are helpful as we continuously work with our culinary team to refine both flavor and execution. I’d love the opportunity to connect further and see if we can make things right. Please feel free to reach out to me directly —I’d truly appreciate the chance to welcome you back for a better experience. Best regards, Sofia

   The restaurant is very busy and the tables are very close to each other so felt crammed in for an upscale restaurant. We made reservation for birthday months ahead of time and were disappointed to be placed in between two large parties for a table of 2. The food was very good.
