My daughter and I sat in the warm, outdoor covered patio with string lights. The service was great and the food very delicious. We shared the pappardelle duck ragu and the spinach and meat ravioli. The mushroom ravioli sauce was very good but we weren’t expecting the pappardelle to be without sauce. Both were very tasty but for me, could have used a tad more salt. Better to have less than more, though, and I did not add any. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake special and lemon tart, both of which were very good. My only minor issue was that my chair kept getting bumped multiple times by the staff serving the larger party next to us in the corner. There really wasn’t ample room for them to move around. Great food and service, though. I would definitely go back.

We arrived early for our reservation, which was no problem, and were offered to try the enclosed, outdoor, heated patio. It was beautiful with warm lighting and not a hint of the December chill outside. My daughter and I shared the fig/arugula salad, duck confit and flounder. We expected two tiny duck legs but they were leg quarters with more meat than we could eat due to the duck’s richness. A good sharing dish because of that. The salted fig carmel trifle is a must if you’re a chocolate mousse fan. The Puebla de Sonoma cocktail was good but if you don’t care for a sweet drink, ask for less agave. I was worried about spiciness and asked for less heat but the regular amount would have been fine and actually better. Our server was attentive and friendly and the entire staff was on top of things. Our water never got below half and empty dishes were swept away quickly, but not in a rushed, hurry up way. My receipt says my server was ‘August’s A’ and she was wonderful.

Great reasonably priced food along with good service. What more could you ask for?

Always a consistent and excellent meal, service and ambiance. Each meal was perfect - tostada, shrimp tacos and crab sandwich. Very good non-alcoholic drink selection.

Delicious food and great service! Definitely will return.
