    Our server, Sarah T, was super helpful in regards to recommendations. My girlfriend & I arrived for our 7:45pm reservation and were sat immediately, which was nice. Our server gave us recommendations upon request, which turned out great. She recommended a certain bottle of wine, which turned out to be some of the best wine we’ve had - and may be our new favorite wine. My Striped Sea Bass was phenomenal, and my girlfriends pasta (cannot remember the name, but something ‘A La Grappa’) was exquisite as well. We had multiple different people come to check up on us, and we never had to worry about refilling our own wine & water. Super attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was perfect for Valentines Day celebrations, as it was close in proximity, dim, and had an intimate feeling. Will 10000% be back, and it will be a challenge to try something new on the menu due to how much I loved the exact order that I got.
