   Two noisy. Only a slim fish on a plate with no sides. This, poor value for a $29 dish.

   We had the salmon and cioppino entries, while our kids ordered marinara spaghetti with meatball and pasta Alfredo from kid’s menu. Also ordered a bruschetta side. The salmon and cioppino were great! Very pleased with food but even more with service. One of the kids has a peanut allergy and asked about peanuts in the pasta when placing the order. We later ordered the bruschetta, but forgot to ask if it has any nuts however, we were very pleased that when the server brought the side, he mentioned that the bruschetta only had pine nuts and almonds or walnuts. we were going to ask when he brought the side, but he anticipated our question! High five to the server team!!

   It was my wife’s 60th birthday and we ate here before. The meal started out good, but my wife’s dish was cold and had zero flavor. We returned it for the Brazino which was much better. I had the ossified Boca which was very good. The service just failed completely after our initial order was taken. It took ten minutes for a waitress to come over and we could explain the food was cold and no flavor in a pasta dish. I asked for some bread and it was stale. No butter, no cheese, no oil oil at an Italian restaurant. Really disappointed with the service and food quality. We will not be back.

   Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry that your wife’s dish was served cold and lacked flavor. This is not the standard we strive for, and we’re glad the Branzino was more to your liking. We will review our kitchen processes to ensure better quality and temperature. We also apologize for the delay in service and will work with our team to improve communication and response times. We’ll address the bread issue and ensure the proper accompaniments are provided. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to deliver a better experience in the future. While we regret that we did not meet your expectations this time, we hope you might reconsider and allow us another opportunity to provide the high-quality experience we aim for.

   We had a big party of kids and adults at two different tables. The servers did an amazing job of handling both groups!

   Went for dinner prior to a movie like many others on Saturday night. The place was packed with a number of large parties for which this is a good place. Service was very energetic and excellent however the food was fair to good at best. However given its ambience and energy I'm not certain having excellent food would materially impact their business.
