    Terrific food, but fair service. All dishes were excellent and perfectly prepared. But our waiter was indifferent and oddly unengaged. Either he needs a new vocation or more training. His service really took away from our overall experience of dining.

    We had a very nice dinner. The big room in the front is where our table was. The tables for 2 are very tight. The room is loud with big groups and lots of family’s with children. I would ask to be seated elsewhere. The service was slow to start - it took about 15 min to order a cocktail and another 15 to get it. Server said the bar was slammed. Our food was very good. We had the burrata appetizer which was delicious - the crostini were too thinly sliced they fell apart and need to be a little thicker. Both main meals were excellent. My husband had the lobster and I had the scallops. We ordered a martini that was not served in a martini glass which was disappointing- again the server said the bar was slammed and they ran out of glasses. Hopefully just a crowded night - we will return as the food was very good.

    Great food. Great vibe! We did shared plates and they were all amazing. The artichoke dip is a must and the tuna nachos are great.
