    Great food, nice staff, only two small complaints would be that we were seated in a noisy area when other spots were available & I’d also say that the portion size for the avocado smoked salmon toast was a little smaller than what I’d expect for the price.

    Fabulous dining experience from start to finish. Our cocktails, appetizers (pulpo and burrata), mains (beef short rib tagliatelle special and eggplant involtini), warm focaccia, wine with help from the sommelier, chocolate torte, and post dinner drinks, were all top notch (and v large portions on the food). Charming and efficient server (Jenn S) made us feel welcome. Lovely ambience although noise level was pretty high due to loud neighbors.

    We dined pre-theatre and our server was careful to ensure we dined in time to get to the performance. He was competent, considerate and attentive without being over solicitous, making for an enjoyable evening of conversation and fine, fine food! Highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal in an ambiance in which you can actually have a conversation.
