    First, in order to write this survey, I had to fill in the stars for value. I really don’t know what the value was because someone else paid. Beyond that, everything was absolutely delicious.There were 3 of us , we each ordered different spice levels and each one was exactly what we each wanted. The wait staff was very attentive and they didn’t even mind when we sat just talking awhile. We were told there are new owners and I have to say the previous owners were excellent. These are even better!

    We really didn't know what to expect in terms of ambience. It was great. We have been to Frasca and had high expectations for the food and those expectations were met. The music was loud enough to focus on but not loud enough to inhibit conversation. Excellent service and an amazing wine list. We will be back.

    Went for brunch. The digital Menu system was challenging to use for our group. I dined with parents who were less comfortable completing order and filling out profile a cc info before eating. The Order of dishes came out a little weird. Food was very good! There was only one server on staff so our food sat in the window for a bit before we got it. They stopped offering coffee at brunch but were ok with us bringing in coffee from BSC next door.
