    Loved the whole experience and look forward to returning. Every dish was perfectly prepared. Ingredients were of the highest quality, so fresh and well seasoned. Salad with dates and goat cheese was delicious. Prosciutto and burrata amazing. The pesto pasta was a dream. The seafood ravioli was divine. The pork and sausage stuffed pasta was savory and flavorful. Drinks and wine were excellent - if a bit over priced. And the service friendly and attentive. The panna cotta was a perfect finale. So many other fabulous looking desserts, but we were too full to try anything else...next time. We appreciate the attention to acoustics as we were able to have a conversation - even as the tables around us filled - due to the sound absorbing ceiling. Not a small thing.

    Oh my gosh, where do I start! First off, so super cute. The ambiance is sweet and feels like a little slice of magic. This was my first time here. We came to celebrate my birthday, there were 7 of us. We got seated right away in a comfortable area with enough space to enjoy ourselves. Abraham was wonderful in getting us started with our orders! We ordered the Pear and Brie pizza ( yummm) , the lamb hummus, the Chilaen sea bass, omg, so good, the petite filet, mac and cheese, and more. Michael was out server, he also took such great care of us. I could eat here every night and not tire of it. The food was delicious, the desert. The BEST Cake is out of this world and service impeccable. Well done Bacari!
