The food presentation and the flavor were excellent Most of the dishes are done on the wood fired grill. We were a group of four and had the focaccia, burrata and grilled octopus for appetizers and everything was excellent. They gave us the blistered bean salad on the house it is highly recommended for mains we had a pizza, pasta, red snapper and the NY Strip. The steak was amazing. The fish was a bit on the dry side.
