    Made advance reservations for large family group to celebrate a birthday. Arrived before reservation time, table not ready. 17 people, ended up at 3 separate tables, our server didn't seem to want to be there. Took a very long time to take orders, bring drinks, rarely refilled drinks. Brought out salads, left on a side table without taking to tables, disappeared for almost 10 minutes, returned to serve salads. Portions were much smaller than photos on website. Overall disappointed in pricing compared to food quality, and that our group was separated into 3 tables instead of 1 table.

    My first experience here! Nice place and atmosphere. We are originally from St. Louis MO area. The decor and lighting (dark) reminded me alot of some of the authentic restaurants on ‘The Hill’. Espresso 🍸 martini was fabulous. Food was excellent, as was the service. I really appreciated that they had GF options as well. Will definitely be back!

    The service was amazing. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for on our anniversary date. I ordered the Alfredo and was expecting a normal white alfredo sauce. But this was yellow and heavily seasoned. It was just okay and would have been nice to know ahead of time on the menu.
