                          We dinner on a busy Saturday night and were celebrating our friends’ engagement. Everything was phenomenal!!! The table was decorated with rose petals, we received complimentary sparkling wine, and the host congratulated our friends. We had drinks oysters, calamari, dinner, and the cookie skillet for dessert. Service was very attentive and patient. We had the best time. Thank you thank you!!

                          Food was unique and delicious, service was ... very very cheerful. In a good way :-) Prices were completely reasonable for the quality delivered. The space is terrific, somewhat limited parking available which is great.

                          Lovely, cozy little spot with super sweet staff, high ceilings, warm fireplace. The pappardelle with lamb was light and delicious! And the cocktails were unique and wonderfully sippy.

                          Cuisine was excellent and the ambiance was good. Unfortunately, the kitchen was slow although the table service was good. Staff had difficulty handling the holiday dinner.

                          The food and service was amazing. Extremely cute set up. We got the wine pairing for the meal. Wish we had 2 options to choose from with the dishes. Two out of the three pairings were too sweet for my liking. I’m not a fan. I was only able to drink one out of the three. Overall, had a great; memorable night :)
