We sat at the mozzarella bar and had the most amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant at her job! She's been there 10 years and is a total pro. She helped us decide on our mix of things to order and every dish was incredible. Also, our cocktails were so delicious. The smoothest martini I've ever had. My husband hand an old fashioned and said the same thing. It was a very special dining experience.

Food was great but the constant filling the room with incense was way too much and overpowered the food at times.

I loved everything about my experience, great drinks, amazing service, good atmosphere. I’d give 5 stars across the board but wish they had more vegan and gluten free options. I ended up just having a salad which was good but wasn’t enough for a dinner (adding nuts or mushrooms would have been nice but wasn’t available). Lastly parking with validation for a just shy of 4 hours was $37. That is ridiculous.
