Despite no availability when we initially emailed for a 6 PM reservation, they went out of their way to fit us in due to a last-minute cancellation. The food was exceptional—we enjoyed calamari, tuna tartare, four-cheese pizza, Diablo pizza, and a beet and feta salad. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious.
