    It very nice and 3 star like setting. Everyone was nice. Most of the food was a hit. Can't win it all. The wine pairing is more on light side. 7 pours for 20ish dish. So it's like sampling. If you really want to enjoy, then buy a bottle or bring your own. It's like every 10min there is a dish. You will be full. I think if the price is around $300 before getting the star. It would be perfect and then once it get some star then move to $400.

    The food is excellent. Sitting at the Mozza bar is a lot of fun. Cocktails and wine are perfection. All of that is definitely worthy of its Michelin star. But what really elevated last night’s experience was Elyssa’s fantastic service. She gave great advice on the menu and recommended the perfect wine to go with it all.
