Beautiful space and outstanding service. All of the entrees - steaks, sea bass, lamb were delicious. Excellent wine list and servers that were present but unobtrusive. Can't wait to go back!

Had a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.

The branzino and the snapper were our highlights last night. we had the sides of broccolini and potatoes which were so fresh and delicious. There were starters of crudos salmon and yellow tail which were small but tasty bites for the 4 of us. The clams were liked by three the 4th is not a fan of cooked clams.
