    I’ll start off saying my food was extremely tasty and I truly enjoyed every plate. Absolutely Delicious in my opinion. (Had carpaccio, salad, and meat rigatoni) My significant others dishes were great as well, but her pasta did come out cold and “firm” like it had been sitting for 15 minutes or so. We had a reservation at 8 and weren’t seated until 9 as they had clearly overbooked. They did give us and others some complimentary wine which was nice. All In was about $370 for 2 people, and 2 drinks each on their set 4 course menu (for Valentine’s Day). They ran out of some of the dishes on the menu as well, but did not affect my order. Great food, but that should be expected for the high price. (And automatically included 20% tip) The staff was always very friendly! Giving 3 stars due to them overbooking reservations, causing us an hour wait, and my significant others Pasta being a little cold.

    Service was really slow. Took 2.5 hours to have the 4 course meal, ended up asking to get the dessert as take out as I didn't want to wait any longer. Other clients also left or were waiting a long time for the food. Food was average, not worth the price.

    The staff were kind, however the kitchen could not keep up on Valentines Day. Took almost an hour between courses, finally had to give up and take dessert to go. Food ok, not spectacular-expensive experience.

    Very nice valentines day experience. We were greeted with a nice glass of rosé upon entry and had an excellent server to make the night special. Food was great, the highlight being the lobster bisque soup. We were even given a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil to take home. Overall a great experience.

    The prices were steep, but the food quality was average at best, lacking the creativity I expected. Service was slow, with long wait times for both our appetizers and entrees, and our server seemed overwhelmed. Additionally, the limited wine selection was underwhelming and overpriced. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant, as there are better options that offer quality and value.
