    Been to their other location recently found this one. Food was spectacular for our team dinner. Ordered all the small plates (all solid) but don’t miss out on their burger. Wow.

    We had dinner reservations but finished work early and headed for happy hour. We enjoyed our server Abraham who was very attentive, the delicious cocktails and food and just being outside. Grateful my office is so close and we will definitely be back.

    They didn't give me the beer I asked for. The three of us ordered different things, but they were all served the same thing.

    Excellent, fast service. The library room was closed by 2pm in the afternoon, so we sat in the main room, near the bar, and were able to look out the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Very tasty gnocchi with rabbit and large grain bowl, with many fresh vegetables. Enjoyed the well-prepared espressos. Will return!

    The server kept forgetting about waiting on us and gave us the table very close to the door even though I made a reservation and there were other empty tables.
