    We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server, Oscar, was attentive, friendly, and funny. The wedge salad is still one of my favorites. My husband really enjoyed the salmon and sweet potatoes and the pasta ala vodka did not disappoint. I recommend sitting on the patio in February-April.

    It’s in “Season” now so if you don’t have a reservation it can be tough. We had reservations and couldn’t be happier about our dining experience.

    Ava was an excellent server. Food was good and atmosphere was very nice. Pricey, but it is at the UTC Mall.
