It was a chilly night and they had the large garage doors open to the patio which made the inside chilly as well. The burrata toast was excellent, and the amount of burrata was generous which was appropriate for the price of the appetizer. My wife had the butternut ravioli and she enjoyed it. The experience fell short on my Rabbit Pappardelle entree. It came out cold/room temperature, I had to send it back for a reheat which really didn't get it up to temperature. The dish was tasty but the large dry flakes were not an enjoyable texture. Most importantly, the rabbit was incorporated in a few small bite size chunks. When rabbit is the first word in the menu, I'd expect to be able to recognize and enjoy it as the main protein in the dish.

My only suggestion would to have a few more options for people who do not like seafood. My friend had the cauliflower dish and thought it was really good. We had a great dinner and will definitely come back again.

Once we brought it to the attention of the hostess it still took about 5 min for anyone to address it. We went at 6pm and could not believe how busy it was. Our server was very apologetic and she got things back on track. Management should staff up or make sure to let servers know when they’ve got a new table—or better yet, have servers/busboys tag team with each other on water refills/clearing tables. Ultimately, the food was delicious and we will go back.

The food was meh, I had the burger and bubbles for happy hour along with the big pinks.. burger was ok nothing special and the big pinks lacked seasoning and the patata bravas were dry, They only had two working heaters for all of the outdoor seating. Ordered the peaches and cream for dessert… small and the peaches had a weird smoky flavor. My espresso martini was good. Valet was easy and complimentary.
