Sat at 6 pm. Finally had server take drink order at 6:25pm. That is too long to sit and look for a server. After that the evening improved. Appetizers of black truffle burrata and scallops were seasoned just right and were light and tasty. Dinner of pork chop and mahi-mahi are recommended We would return again. Rated 4/5 for service. Food 5/5. Highly recommend a reservation. It is small inside.
