As usual, they exceeded our expectations. There was a gnocchi addition to the menu that was light but filling. The service was friendly and timely.

We’ve been dining here for 3 years now. Something was off the mark this time. Don’t get me wrong the service was incredible and the atmosphere was top notch as usual. The food was lacking this time. It was good but it was lacking the extravagant flavors we’ve grown accustomed to when we dine here.

The food and service were great, but the noise was so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. That said, we’ll go back.
