    I set the reservation letting them know we were there for a birthday. I asked if they do an amuse bouche, drink, or dessert and I was told dessert. It turned out the Gelato they use for the birthdays was out, and the server didn't offer anything in its place which seemed odd to me as that could've been an easy pivot. Turns out they were also out of another dessert and the lobster ravioli. Maybe going on a Monday wasnt the wisest as I wouldn't have known if I didn't try to order those things. We did enjoy everything we ordered, with the exception of the bolognese having cold spots according to the person in our party who ordered it. The biscuits were a delight--that jam and extra whipped butter were the perfect compliment to the honey drizzled biscuits. The burnt ends were good, but the star on that plate was the coleslaw--it was so refreshing! The vibe was definitely vibing, I'd for sure go back for cocktails and starters.
