   The food is Fantastic. Service is slow because they do the automatic 20% tip thing so the servers and stuff don't care about getting to you with any sort of speed. Nice place though, we will go back for sure. Again, the food was so good it over rules everthing else, it was that good.

   Best food in SD. Worth the price. Unintoast and linguine were standouts. Duck breast and asparagus honorable mention. We ordered a riff of tiramisu which was great, but not tiramisu. More like a strawberry shortcake.

   We celebrated our 40th Anniversary and the staff all welcomed us and took great care and made our evening so wonderful. The food is awesome and they even made me a special cocktail with ingredients I like just for me. Great restaurant to try lots of items and share. Thank you to Callie and staff. We will be back

   Dinner for a table of 4. Outstanding meal with one of a kind flavors and presentation. Shared 4 starters, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts. Portion sizes varied but were larger the expected given the food quality.

   We had an amazing time with some wonderful food and great service! The chicken and duck entrées were excellent as well as our appetizers and mixed drinks. The only thing we did not like is how loud the restaurant was during the our meal. By 10 PM the noise level finally calm down since people started to leave.

   Came here for a birthday + anniversary celebration with my partner. Staff was courteous and service overall was mediocre. We were seated soon after arrival per our reservation. There was a lot of time in between each meal of our course leaving for a dinner; pacing can be improved. Our server was kind, but throughout the dinner, they very briefly checked in on our table as-if to merely check off a task. He would walk by and inquire about how everything was and as we were answering he would already be turning around and or walking away. This wasn’t an isolated instance it was repeated throughout the dinner. In my reservation, I filled out the special requests section with a request for a unique memorabilia as a keepsake. We got a generic letter set at our table upon arrival and that was all. Overall meal was quite expensive. On top of that they charged a mandatory 20% service charge and there was also an additional 4% service charge on top of the mandatory service charge which was supposedly for a cost-of-living adjustment to help pay staff. It is quite absurd that a restaurant who already charges +$50 for a medium-sized plate of pasta with a mandatory 20% service charge needs to slap on an additional 4% charge to afford to pay their staff. Overall experience was honestly quite disappointing for the status and reputation of this restaurant, especially considering how there is essentially a 25% mandatory service charge on top of the entire meal.

   Every last detail was perfect! The food was exceptional and the service was impeccable. Medhi and Priscilla were the best and made us feel very welcome! We will be back--definitely. My negroni was delicious as well! Cheers!

    We had the tasting menu, which was phenomenal. A fantastic sampling of the menu, all at full portion size. Everything was delicious, with everything well thought out, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Was our first time but we will be back for certain.
