    Wow the pizza was so delish! The host was great, got us a drink while we waited for our tablet to be ready, the server was so helpful with our selections and went above and beyond in many ways. Will be returning.

    We had a wonderful meal. Our table was near the door and the bar which likely contributed to the noise level. I would have preferred to be in the traditional dining room.

    Reserved a table for my siblings and spouses for our yearly holiday meal together. We were a group of six. Arrived early to have some drinks in the lounge. Happy hour drinks and small plates were ordered. Service was on point and food and drinks were all delicious. Table was ready right on time. We started with two bottles of wine with help from our server. His suggestions were spot on as the wine was some of the best wines we have had previously. The food was all incredible including the octopus, meatballs, squid ink pasta, and lamb shank. Service was on point throughout the night. One nice feature we thought was unusual was the specials were communicated by the server and he stated the price of each. A nice thing to avoid sticker shock when the check arrives. All restaurants should do follow suit. Great night and will return soon.

    i took my mother out for christmas dinner. we were promptly greeted and shown the way to the host stand before we even reached the stairs to the front door. there, the host was smiling and extra polite. the table was set to perfection. the whole team serving us were all spectacular- happy, friendly, knowledgeable. schuyler (sorry if the spelling is wrong) seemed very attentive to every question we had about the menu, he was definitely familiar with all details of the food. lauren came by our table a few times to make sure everything was spot on. she seemed happy to be helping out with everything- delivering some of our food, topping up our sparkling water. overall she seemed to go beyond expectations- even for the other tables around us. as for the food- my mother couldn’t stop complimenting the zucchini fritti appetizer. she had the market fish for her entree. she enjoyed every last bite (i got one bite as well, it was prepared and cooked wonderfully). i ordered the filet, rare plus. the temperature was great. i enjoyed the thinly sliced fennel, it paired well with it. we ordered broccolini as a side dish, and it was delightful- it had a hint of spice. desserts were divine. everything was an absolute pleasure, especially the staff. my one and only complaint was that the tables weren’t spaced apart that much. but we made friends with the lovely ladies dining next to us. i would highly recommend this place. the food and the entire staff made our experience top notch, and i look forward to returning.

    This was our first visit. The overall experience was good but was disappointed that the hostess counted locate our reservation. After a couple of minutes and several questions, she did seat us anyway. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great. The salad dressing was a little on the tart side but that is simply personal taste. The entrees were very flavorful, prepared as ordered and served promptly. Dining room noice level was low, even as the room filled. Overall, will return and recommend to others.
