    Food and drinks were delicious. Music was extremely loud. It was very difficult to talk, had to keep shouting across the table to hear each other

    We went shortly after opening so I can’t blame them for needing to work out some kinks. It was to be expected especially considering how packed it was! We had a reservation and waited about 20 minutes but the walk in times were over 2 hours long! Our server was wonderful. Food was good. Some dishes we loved, others we didn’t. Music was way too loud which is usually not something I even noticed, but it was hard to have a conversation.

    Wonderful experience overall. It’s newly opened and reservations are a must. Drink specials were outstanding. Apps were delicious and dinners were very good. My favorite was the lasagna.

    So great to have another excellent restaurant in Shelton! Even though it just opened, everything was on the money. The only complaint is that the music was excessively loud. It was difficult to hear the person across the table. Someone must have complained because about halfway through our meal the music was suddenly more subdued. Other than that, an excellent meal and terrific service and we will certainly return.

    Christine our server was excellent! The food and drinks were delicious. Things did move slowly, but understandable due to its newness. Will definitely be back.

    A very average menu. A loud environment. Staff was good. For individuals with disabilities, there is no elevator to access the 2nd floor dining area. Surprised zoning allowed this. Overall an eatery designed for the “ younger generations “ as so many new restaurants are. Not your quiet elegant higher end dining experience.

    The food and service was exceptional. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. It was reasonably priced too considering we had 2 cocktails each, 2 entrees, 2 cappuccinos and a desert all for $135.00. That is unheard of around here!!
