We enjoyed an excellent meal. Caesar salad was uniquely dressed, very tasty. My wife ordered the swordfish which was perfectly prepared. We love the use of grains like farro and polenta. I dined on the chicken piccatta. Delicious. Above average portion sizes on both plates. Our waitress, Alyssa, provided outstanding service throughout our meal. No hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
