    Had a wonderful birthday dinner celebration with girlfriends. The meal was fantastic and we boxed up our leftovers. When we went to leave they admitted that they had misplaced our food and fired up a whole new pizza to go. Cocktails were great too!

    We left feeling upset, and very disappointed in the quality of the food. Despite having perfect and romantic ambience for Valentine’s Day dinner, the food was lack luster and not seasoned at all. We ordered caviar on some fried doughy bites- which was dry with no flavor. The beet salad was not special and no contrast with the other flavors. The sausage pasta tasted like canned tomato sauce, could not taste the sausage at all, and no rich salty flavor or seasoning there. The scallops and polenta was mediocre at best, and the polenta was watery. For $52! We will not be returning.

    Go for the pizza! We went for Valentine's Day and had such a lovely time! Forever we ordered a $45 lobster pasta cacherri. It had 10 tube's of pasta and maybe 2 ounces of lobster. It was pretty Blanc and quite frankly, a rip off. It was also the only bad thing we had so we were still pretty pleased.

    Food was delicious. It was a bit loud, but it was also valentines day, so it was packed. Overall it was a good experience. Plan to go back to try a few other things on the menu

    Everything was really good except for the squid ink pasta - which 3 people out of our group of 4 ordered. None of us thought it was wow - not enough punch to the seafood that accompanied the pasta. Maybe needed more acid of some kind to spark it up. Loved our server, loved the paloma cocktails, the apps and the sweet treats at the end. We will definitely go back.

    Food was terrific. Wine too. Sommelier was awesome. Service was spotty. Didn't fill our water only 3 1/2 of 5. Waited way too long to get our dinner order so we had to get up and ask. Same with 1 dish which was forgotten. Put % on wrong card when we split 60/40.

    Two appetizers, two drinks, one vegetable side, one entree (that came with another vegetable side), two coffees $81/each with tip, just to ballpark the value/cost, which for me was 5 stars. Everything was excellent. This was my first time having an entree instead of pizza -- because I had pizza the first time I went and loved it -- and the sea bass entree exceeded my hopes, I'll try another entree in the future. Wait staff are knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. Good selection of wines by the glass as well as by the bottle, with an emphasis on Italian wines (but California alternatives for those who want them). Maybe not as many crazy cocktails as some other places, but the two or three I've had were great (including the Phony Negroni they had for Dry January that they said they would keep serving).
