Joselyn was a good server. The Bus Boy was so kind and organized. He was so accommodating that evening. Celebrating daughter birthday. Was hoping they would have brought a little slice of cake for her as we mentioned it was her birthday

Wonderful! Had the sea bass— which was a whole small fish with lovely potato’s, asparagus and sauces. Had linguini with seafood. Full of juicy fat prawns, shrimp, scallops, mussels. The sauce was exquisite? Wine flights, yummy bread with dipping oil, salad so delicate, cheesecake for desert. I am in heaven here! Great staff!

The food was excellent as always. But we felt more cramped as so many more tables were added. There were rows of 5+ tables of 2 stacked a few inches apart, so we felt a loss of intimacy. But the restaurant got more packed, so it's popular, with a slightly different vibe.
