I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. The food was exceptional—starting with the onion tart, which had a delightful sweetness from the glaze and was truly outstanding. For my entrée, I chose the lemon pepper linguine, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced and unforgettable. The evening was made even more special as I was celebrating my good friend’s 60th birthday. The setting and ambiance were perfect, creating a truly memorable experience!

Really came for the aesthetic of the restaurant which did not disappoint. I think the value of price & food quality was overrated but the chips and salsa that are complimentary was to die for!
