    The views, service, music, and food were divine. We would be repeat customers except for the despised two hour time limit applicable on Friday and Saturday nights! We love this hidden gem!

    Our server didn’t ask if there were allergies at the table and when he gave us the dessert, which was Tiramisu, he said there were walnuts in it which I am allergic too. When we asked the hostess and the chef if this was true we discovered it was not accurate information so we had paid for a dessert that we didn’t eat because of misinformation.

    Charred Octopus - This dish is a masterpiece of balance and texture. The octopus was grilled to perfection—tender yet slightly crispy on the edges. The ceci puree added a smooth, nutty contrast, while the hearts of palm and red onion brought a refreshing crunch. The salmoriglio sauce tied everything together with a citrusy, herby touch. A must-try for seafood lovers

    Charcuterie Board - This board is the VIP lounge of cheeses and meats. From the creamy, mild cheese to the salty, rich cured meats—every bite felt like a luxurious European vacation. The caramelized fig and honey? Chef’s kiss! If you ever wanted to feel like royalty while snacking, this is the way

    Spicy Rigatoni - This dish made me rethink my entire life. The crispy pancetta was divine, the vodka cream sauce was rich and velvety, and the spice level was just right—enough to wake up your taste buds without setting your soul on fire. I took one bite, closed my eyes, and whispered, "So this is love

    Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and paired with an arugula salad that’s so fresh it might have been picked this morning. Simple, yet so satisfying
