    Took my boyfriend here for his 40th. We loved it. Our server, Ben was extremely knowledgable and patient and helped us through our decision paralysis! Such a great time.

    One of the best Asian fusion experiences I’ve had in awhile. Everything was bursting with flavor. Quality was great. Decor was beautiful and immersive and music was fun. We went on a Sunday pretty early so there was no wait, but I was told reservations are encouraged due to the small size of the restaurant. The cocktails were also delicious! Highly recommend!

    Selections are very reasonably priced and service is excellent. They described their restaurant as Italian but with a modern flair. That is a perfect way to describe both the cuisine and the ambiance. I had the Cacio E Pepe with chicken. It was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was creamy but delicate. When I asked if bread came with the meal, our waiter indicated that it did not. However, the waiter recommended their grilled sour dough bread (an additional $4), which came with an herbaceous butter - it was wonderful! My friend ordered the day’s special gnocchi with short ribs that fell off the bone. For dessert, we all wanted the tiramisu. It was not exactly the soupy Tuscan style nor the dry lady fingers style. I’d say a mixture of both. Sorry about the picture as we all devoured it so quickly I had to snap a quick shot after we had started digging in - I’d highly recommend it.
