We were two couples. We had a great table. We all enjoyed adult beverages, appetizers, entrees and desert. The food was delicious. Our waiter and support staff couldn’t have been better. A very upscale dining experience. A special evening out, for sure.

Starting off, George was amazing, and provided fantastic service. Ambience was cozy, sleek, and spacious, not over crowed tables, feels intimate. Food is incredible. We had the tuna tartar, so fresh and clean with buttery avocado, positano pizza was thin, crisp, and the perfect subtle ratio of sweet and salty. Cacio e pepe was al dente and creamy. Beet salad was fresh and bright, with juicy beets, Crunchy smoked almonds and slightly peppery arugala, the calamari was tender and a perfect amount of breading, not to heavy, very light. Short rib empanadas were perfect little meaty bites with a flaky crust and herbacious chimmichuri. All in all, would definitely come back to try one of the fire grilled meats and the charcuterie board...would also like to try the lobster tail. Oh, and the tiramisu was out of this world!!!

Delicious food beautifully presented. I had the shrimp and scallops with risotto special. There were many specials so don’t judge by the regular menu. Service was a tad slow - kitchen issue I think - but it was worth the wait.
