Besides the craziness of parking, everything was amazing. Really should’ve had a sign at the bottom of the hill to tell people to go to the college for shuttle service versus going halfway up the hill and waiting 30 minutes to get there to find out you need to turn around and go to get a shuttle. Thank goodness we came early or we would’ve missed our reservations.

Seated right on time. Server , Christen was attentive and very friendly. Food was excellent. Had calamari fritti for appetizer cooked perfectly. Moved on to bone in ribeye, it was great, cooked to perfection and accompanied with smashed herb potatoes. Perfect combination. I would recommend this restaurant and plan to eat there again soon.

Every dish has incredible flavor and a little heat. The ceviche had the right amount of heat, the fish was delicious. We also had the mushrooms and Sweet potatoes. Still thinking how crisp and flavorful the potatoes were. The Lamb shank, Ribs and Branzino were so good. Can’t wait to go back.
