    Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

    Jason was fantastic. Explained everything well. Great sense of humor! Very good at working the table. Drinks never went empty. Good at getting to the table to ask if we ever needed anything. One of the better wait staff I have ever had in my life. Made the experience top notch. Hard to find great people that take pride in their work like this.

    Always a lovely experience! The food and service are both top notch. I appreciated that they had a prix fix menu for the holiday but you could also order the items a la carte so that’s what we did. The oysters were a perfect starter, the seasonal burrata is always a hit. The pizza was simple but very good. I also appreciate that they offer nice mocktails - the roots is my favorite.
