Our latest visit was a huge disappointment. The dinner came out very quickly even before we got our drinks. One entree (the branzino) never came until we finally asked for it. The one appetizer that we ordered was never served. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked. The short ribs w/polenta and branzino were flavorless and underwhelming. We’ve been to the restaurant a few times and always enjoyed the meals. This time was a real miss!!! I sure hope this was an off night for the restaurant. Not sure we’ll be back. 👎

Tuna Tartare was fabulous. It came with taro choose which would have been enough but I ordered baguette. I was thinking it would be a crunchy French baguette but it wasn’t. Not great. Wine selections are vast and interesting. I had a lovely glass of Moschofilero. Yummy.

always great food, we had good service too. We sat outside and the table behind us was pretty loud, but it subsided after awhile. Love this place! My husband had short ribs, and the other 3 had some variation on poke or ahi salads.

This is one of my new favorite local places. The people are lovely, and the wine offerings are ridiculous! We tried a flight and tasted two more and now have 5 wines we absolutely adore. And the food was delicious.
