Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

Had a great experience. The food and drinks were a highlight - it was so tasty. Some of the best Mexican food in the area. Service was a little slow but it was a busy night. Staff was very friendly. The noise level was my one complaint. It was mostly a normal noise level but some random songs would be extremely loud. It wasn’t bad enough to take away from the night.

The outdoor seating ambiance is really nice & intimate. Our food was good and the service was good as well. We were not too impressed with the specialty drinks we ordered so decided to play it safe with wine for our second round. Overall a nice place to try, I would go back to try different items on the menu.
