    The ambiance and service were outstanding. The menu is well-developed and interesting. Some of the food like the burrata appetizer and the bolognese was excellent. We found the mushroom risotto and the beef short rib to be overly salty. Great drinks as well!

    The food was outstanding as was the service! The only minus is the parking situation; had to go several blocks up a side street to find parking. However, it won't keep us from coming back to this wonderful restaurant! See you soon!

    Really good food and excellent service. Our server made very good suggestions which was important since this was our first visit. The only small knock is the cocktail menu. My drink was smallish and just didn’t measure up to the rest of the experience. We had read about the chicken thigh starter and it really was delightful. So was the mushroom side dish. Bang on good. The pork belly was fatty but I think that it was supposed to be. We’ll certainly return.
