The food and servers were superb. The restaurant was very crowded and chaotic but this did not impact our service. We appreciate Rachel and Ava very much. The front desk had trouble finding our reservation even though I showed it to them and tried to seat my business party with 3 other people. In the end it worked out. I have never seen it that busy. I'm sure the upcoming holidays impacted things.

Arrived 5 minutes before reservation and seated right away. Greeted by our server Ashley who was outstanding. Was offered cocktail and wine list and had drinks within 5 minutes. 1st time for my friend so she was greeted with toast of Chianti and Italian toast. Salad and main course were exceptional. One of my favorite restaurants.
