Food was incredible!! We had the muscles and the ravioli and both exceeded our expectations. The Christmas decor was up and it was so festive and cute. Our server Paul was so attentive and the entire staff was so nice from the minute we entered to when we left!

The food was innovative and sensational. Service was first rate. The entire staff was attentive and responsive. Cocktails were imaginative and well balanced. We tried many items on the menu loved almost all of them. My only complaint is minor, the tables are the small ones that are prevalent at so many trendy spots.
