    Great experience. This isn't a red sauce Italian restaurant. Dishes are innovative and delicious. My first time here, but I'll definitely be back soon. Service was wonderful too. And it's BYOB! Parking is available in a nearby municipal lot.

    Our server, Danielle, was nothing short of fabulous. Very attentive, knew the entire menu and specials thoroughly. I am gluten free and she knew exactly how everything was prepared so she was very helpful in going over the menu with me. Although I did not get it, they have gluten free pasta! Almost the whole menu is gluten free or can be prepared gluten free. The food was excellent, not one bad bite. Bone in ribeye was perfectly marbled and cooked at exactly medium as we requested. Oysters as fresh as could be. The Tartare Trio and Slab Bacon are to die for! If you are looking for a special celebration or even a swanky night out, I highly recommend. Looking forward to returning!

    Always a great meal with attentive service. Everything is made with fine ingredients and always fresh. The menu has many choices. The food is served hot, which is rare in most restaurants. Appetizers were excellent, especially their calamari. Portions are generous. I always look forward to dining here.
