Our first time experience was fantastic. We wanted to try a place we have not dined at before. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience, wine, food and service. Our server made some wine and food recommendations that we went with. Excellent on all! We can't wait to visit again with friends.

We sat at the bar and the bartender was great! Dinner and wines delicious! Entertainment was unexpected and sang/played a variety of songs. We hadn’t been in over a year but will return!

Appetizers and wine flight were the highlight. The short rib was a bit dry.

Very disappointed. I had high hopes for this place but food was almost inedible, especially for how expensive it was. We got the papardelle pasta with chicken and margherita flatbread. One positive is that the wine was good and there was a cute atmosphere. We were also informed after we had purchased happy hour appetizers that there was no happy hour on that day

Our server was wonderful and helping us decide on wine, all our food choices were fabulous and we really enjoyed the live music. It was a touch too loud for conversations at a four person table. Suggest if possible to turn down the speaker a smidge.
