Overall dinner was fantastic. Alex was spot on with her service, answering all of our questions and bringing my husband a Birthday Dessert. The food was delicious but my only gripe is the portion sizes. I understand restaurants need to cost items appropriately but the size of my Caronara was embarrassing for $34. In a world were dining out is a luxury, it should also have the value in the dish.

While our server was great, the food was awful. If you specialize in working with local farms bringing food to table, you need to at least have the fundamental foundations of seasoning the food down first. Three bites into my meal, I knew the pasta was undercooked and something was off with the taste and I couldn’t finish it. Drinks were great but that’s about it, sadly.
