Food was amazing. Service could have been better. Server didn’t touch table and service had to be flagged down after multiple attempts. Everyone seemed to have blinders on. Overall delicious meal but service could improve to be in alignment with the reputation of food.

Both our pastas (truffle ragu rigatoni and tagliatelle with mushroom) were absolutely outstanding and the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had! They also served bread with olive oil that went with the meal perfectly.

For beer and seafood lovers only. Both are excellent. No salads, no fries, no frills. But the staff is friendly, the selection of oysters is impressive, and the prices are very reasonable.
