This place never disappoints. We went with another couple to celebrate 2 birthdays. The food was outstanding. Everyone who waited on us was lovely. One of our very favorite local restaurants.

My husband came here last night for dinner and loved it! We ordered cocktails (winter sangria for me, old fashioned for him), the tuna appetizer, a burger (him) and chicken milanese (me) -- all were fantastic! The service was wonderful and food came out super fast.

Food and service was very good. Had to wait 25 minutes for table to free up even though we had a reservation. Went to bar to have a drink, martinis. Not impressed with the experience. Only had 2 brand options, Tito's or Kettle One. Serving was rather ordinary, olives were rather ordinary, no blue cheese option, and very pricey for the end product ($22 each). Wine at dinner was good, though. But, will go back again, and omit the martinis.

We sat at the bar and the bartender couldn’t have been more attentive. The service was top notch. The food was very good. The octopus could have been tenderized a little more. Burrata was supposed to have heirloom tomatoes, but came with just regular Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. I get it, heirlooms are out of season, but don’t keep it on the menu. Gnocchi was very flavorful but a little gritty. No espresso for the end of the meal so our bartender made espresso martinis. They were excellent. Overall, great date night. We will return.

We had the best time. The servers were amazing. Very friendly and attentive staff. We ordered a few items since we were not sure of the sizes and each thing, we ordered was exceptional. It was more than enough. I highly recommend the truffle mac cheese, meatball and flatbread pizza. Although really everything we had was great. The staff could not be more accommodating and welcoming. We loved that they had some special holiday drinks and were made to perfection. We are locals and always looking for something different in the area and this definitely is! Great addition to our town.
