   Food was ok, not great, but way overpriced and the noise level was uncomfortable.

   We had a great dinner experience last night. The food was excellent, we specially enjoyed the tortelloni dish. Our server, Michael D was outstanding, he gave us great food recommendations. Would definitely recommend this place.

   Ara was a great find. Our server Kate was very knowledgeable about the food and it’s preparation, guiding us to the best dishes and drinks. As it was a Monday evening, bottles of wine were 1/2 off, so we indulged. The crab avocado salad was exquisite, as was the roast chicken (which I never order in restaurants) and the lamb chops. All told, we’ll be back!

   I found the menu to be quite diverse and the whole table found something that piqued their interests. The drinks were the best part of the meal, and were delicious. The appetizers were great, as was the dessert. My guests enjoyed their meals, but I didn't care for mine, which was the spicy rigatoni. There was little to no detectable spice, and it lacked flavor overall. I shared with my guests and they had the same opinion. I would go back again, but would definitely choose another main course. The vibe was fun and I enjoyed the music. The entire staff were very friendly and courteous, and we felt very welcomed. You need a reservation because the place was packed.

    Amazing, as always. Imagine a dining experience that has your taste buds dancing for days! This is that! Truly impressive. We have brought our most “distinguished” foodie friends, and everyone is blown away! From the moment you walk in, it is exceptional! The staff are true professionals, yet genuine and friendly- love them all. Kayla and Addie took care of us last visit and they are truly delightful people. The food is outstanding. It is hard to venture away from my favorites like the carpaccio and Turkish dumplings, but all the pastas and meats we have tried are delicious. Yes it’s pricey, but it is worth it. Enjoy.
