Excellent, as always. We had a party of five seated at a round table. It was a bit hard to hear the person directly across the table, but nothing outrageous, just a great restaurant on a Saturday night. The wine list is excellent. Highly recommend the fried artichoke starter. The octopus was delicious too. Everyone loved their meals- carbonara, rigatoni Alla vodka, chicken. All great. Must start with the focaccia. Cocktail list is amazing, but they no longer have my favorite (Verde fresco) which is a bummer.

If you plan to visit, it's always a good idea to call ahead, especially if you plan to visit during the holidays, when the light displays are going strong. The food is prepared, freshly cooked and assembled, one by one, per table, so be prepared to wait your turn. If it's in season, and the market price isn't too bad, I highly recommend trying the giant seared lobster, which can be served as an appetizer, or eaten aa a main course.

An excellent dining experience and the staff was superb. They are committed to quality. We visited for brunch and had the chicken and waffles which exceeded expectations. The vegetables and rice and the king biscuit rounded out our experience and were delicious. Highly recommend.

We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.
