- AAnita OlsonvipOrange County •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had an absolutely amazing experience. We had a brand new waiter. It was her first day waiting tables on her own and she was absolutely amazing. She was working under Adam I believe. I don’t remember her name and it was not on my receipt however she was Knowledgeable and available and just perfect in every way. We had the focaccia bread that was amazing! The ravioli were amazing. And we had a burger and the schnitzel and they both exceeded our expectations.
