   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.

   The service was the right amount of attentive and FOH was extra kind when told we were celebrating a birthday - dessert, singing, and a card! Food was excellent with perfect portion sizes.
