    I would have rated the food higher but they ran out of spaghetti pasta at 4:15. The service was great. It’s a small place ( which I like) but was very noisy. I heard more of the conversation at the next table than from my own table. I would return if I had a group where we could book the whole place for a couple of hours.

    The food was great, but the portioned were small. I'd say this would be better suited for a lunch venue. The noise level was extreme and could not hear my date at all. We were also crammed into a tight space, not more than 2 feet from another table. I would eat at a different time, would recommend if some changes are made.
