    Sat on the patio for lunch. Shared two appetizers and the chicken flatbread with two friends. The food was amazing. Also tried the white wine flight. Would definitely go back.

    We were seated for thirty minutes before our server took our order. The live music was great, but it was rather loud for our preferences. Everyone’s food was good, but not great. There was just no wow factor. I got the seafood risotto and had a few bites of grit from improperly washed mussels and clams. Probably won’t be back.

    Service and friendly wait staff including Alysse was attentive. Part of our order had issues twice and she was on point for attending to the quality control and issues swiftly. The ambiance as always was relaxing and comfortable. Wait time was minimal for food to arrive. Prices for wine are more like Napa prices, so higher than prior visits but overall a good experience and food quality control could improve based on former experiences at this restaurant.
