    I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. The ambiance was perfect—great music playing live in a beautiful setting right by the river, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I had the burrata with prosciutto and the seafood pasta. Both delicious. The pistachio and chocolate dessert was amazing too. Our server, Mark, truly made the experience stand out. He was not only attentive and professional but also had a great sense of humor, making us feel right at home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a stunning location!

    Elia was a wonderful experience. The food, the ambience, the beverages and the service were all phenomenal. Lenny was our server and he was not just a server he was an experience curator. He made the entire dining experience an amazing one. I will definitely be back.

    It’s a beautiful restaurant, located on the water. I was a little annoyed that even though I had a reservation, I still had to wait about 45 minutes for a table. Granted it was at the bar, but they should really try to plan that a little better. The appetizer came out relatively quickly, charred octopus, which was ok. Cooked well, but came with mashed potatoes, which seemed like a mismatch. For our main course as we got the truffle royale pizza (more like a flatbread), which has pears truffles and cheese, which was tasty but a little bit expensive at $35. And we also had the spicy rigatoni which is actually very good and had nice crispy pieces of pancetta, although I will say it was maybe a little spicier than it needed to be. It could’ve been slightly less spicy. The service was good in terms of the waiter being friendly and knowledgeable, but slow it terms if bringing food. The items we ordered don’t take that long to cook, but it took a while to get the food. We ended up being there for almost 2 hours for what should’ve only taken about an hour.
