    This is our third time here and the food has been delicious every time. Sarah, our server, was wonderful. I wish they hadn't sat us next to a table of 6 people - it was a little on the loud side, but everything else was spot on.

    First time visit:). The food was amazing - homemade focaccia bread, lasagna, bolognese enjoyed with yummy red and white wines by the glass. Our server was super helpful answering questions and attentive when needed. It’s a small and intimate location- best for couples. The three of us sat in a back extension which wasn’t the cutest ambiance- and super LOUD although improved once a rambunctious group of four left. Again the food was exceptional and service stellar - we highly recommend.

    We enjoyed our prefix dinner selections. My wife's tenderloin steak was grilled medium-rare as ordered with shrimp paired with it. She enjoyed the bone marrow butter torched over the steak at the table; a nice presentation. I ordered the Lobster that was served breaded with béarnaise. It was cooked nicely, but I learned that I prefer just the tail with lemon butter. Our server Adam, was helpful, friendly and timely with our meal, not too fast or slow. He was provided good support with a team to meet all needs. The manager stopped by our table to see if we had everything we needed; I always appreciate seeing the management interacting with customers. No one seemed rushed or stressed making a for a pleasant atmosphere. Of course the view is great from the 30th floor.
