    We sat in the outdoor spring garden space. While it was chilly the fireplaces and heaters made it very comfortable. Our server, Zibby, guided us through the menu and her suggestions were fantastic. Whipped ricotta, fig salad, scallops and tenderloin. Every dish was well prepared, beautifully served and tasty. This was our first visit it will not be our last

    A must for sure! My husband is gluten intolerant and they answered all our questions and gave us creative options. Everything was incredibly tasty. Service was impeccable. We had the hand made duck raft pasta and the lamb loin as well as house whipped ricotta. Everything was incredible. I wish we had room for dessert!

    We started at the bar with a cocktail at the bar and the ambiance was great....until 3 dude bros came in acting like dude bros. They belonged in Kid Rock's bar on Broadway, not this classy establishment. After we finished our cocktails, we asked to be seated for our reservation far away from the dude bros. They accommodated us nicely and we were served free bread. The food was decent but unremarkable unfortunately. I got the ragu and the meat was overly salted that I left half of it on the plate. Wife got lamb and too much salt was an issue there too. We had high hopes for a great date night out but the dude bros and salt turned it mediocre. Cool spot but could have been better.
