First time here, we went with another couple, for a lovely dinner. The restaurant ambiance was just amazing, cozy and comfortable. We had the filet mignon, and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Service was impeccable. We can't wait to come back.

Wonderful holiday dinner with friends. We ordered tge small seafood tower with sides & salad to split. Spectacular! We were at a 4 top table and with tge seafood tower plopped in my dining plate space, there was nowhere for my husband or me to eat on dinner plates. We had to use small bread plates for tge seafood, sides. Very crammed table space. Service was good, just hectic, as is understandable for holidays.

The food was so good! We started with the burrata and it was so good! I had a classic amaretto sour that was quite well done. We each ordered a different entree so we could try them all and every one was delicious! However, the gnocchi and the ravioli were next level— I didn’t want to share. We finished up with some gelatos and some affogatos and maybe an espresso martini or two… all delicious but I would have loved some tiramisu or zabaglione… A great experience— will definitely be back!

Great service and good! Can’t wait to go back! It was a little noisy but I think that was because of the holidays.
