I mistakenly booked a table for 2 instead of 3 for Sunday Brunch. Greeted by the manager he arranged a lovely table for 3 at the front window. Service was excellent. Freshly squeezed orange juice with for the Mimosas and glasses were promptly refilled by the manager. I had the spicy angel hair pasta with the most amazingly gigantic shrimp. Delicious. My friends with had egg options and said it was wonderful. Service was amazing and staff attentive . Clean and stylish. Perfect for brunch and we will return to try the dinner menu.

Dining for brunch at 11am with a reservation for two was okay, though being asked to order within 5min because it would get busy felt odd. The restaurant didn’t fill up after we got our food and only one time did the server check in on us, but continued to serve water while we chatted. It would have been nice to have not felt pushed to our seats and rushed to order then be left for the bulk of our time. Thankfully the food was tasty and the ambience was worth the price.

Best truffle pizza in town. We visit every year for birthdays and / or Valentine’s Day. Soufflé is also amazing.
