Dined here for a second time and as before BN didn't disappoint. They added Cauliflower to the menu which we were excited to try and it tuned out to be delicious. Gnocchi had a upgrade too and the presentation + taste was top notch. The server made some amazing wine pairing suggestions. Overall, it was great.

My friends and I were going to an 80s concert that night and dressed up in 80s style so the diner was an obvious fit. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, food was excellent and our waitress was gracious enough to take a picture of our group in our outfits. Definitely coming back!
