Great all the way around!! I love this place. I noted in the reservation comments on OT that this was a first date and recent b’day. The wait staff were fully on board and offered a complimentary Prosecco toast at the outset and then proceeded to deliver excellent service throughout. Great local, neighborhood restaurant and bar. Excellent food—all prepared in-house, breads, tortilla chips, etc.—and drinks.
