    Maybe the nicest, most solicitous staff in town, which helps elevate the entire experience. Food was very good to excellent (in particular the Barolo braised beef ragout on expertly made homemade pasta) but the wine list is very small and doesn’t really do the food justice. Fantastic bartender though, who conjures up some great cocktails. We’ll be back again.

    Overall we enjoyed and appreciated the music , the creativity of the artwork and seating arrangements . It is definitely a place to consider going for a date night. The servers and owners were extremely welcoming and eager to assist, even with the bottle of wine to consider. The food is average for bar food .
