    Always enjoy their pasta but thought we would try their entrees. The lamb shank and the petrale soul were savory and presented well, though a bit more rich than we are accustomed to. The radicchio salad was very good and our desserts were great. Our waiter, Benjamin was really nice as was the maitre d’. A great neighborhood restaurant!

    Food was so good and everyone was so nice! I asked for a booth and they adjusted my reso without question and did all they could to accommodate. Only "issue" was that at times it did get a tad bit too loud (maybe due to where we were sitting, no carpet on the floor in the section I was sitting in), but that's also what made the ambiance so fun and exciting! So really no complains. I would def go back again. PS - The Cod and the Duck were super yummy! They also have homemade Kombucha!

    Still a favorite. This time the my daughter’s mussels were a bit off but they replaced them no question asked. The oyster supreme are an amazing explosion of flavors, the tartar with truffle infused caviar and the bone marrow are a real treat, and the mushroom capuccino soup is so intensely good!! Gotta love this place
