    The music on the patio was pleasant, but WAY TOO LOUD to have conversation. I had looked up the menu online before going for the first time and was disappointed that the menu I viewed was not available at "brunch". My group went for lunch. Jason, our waiter, was pleasant and accommodating to our requests. The decor is nice and intentional. The patio ambience was very pleasant.

    Simply lovely little place, beautiful ambiance for the holidays with white lights and greenery, classy, European vibe. We ordered all of the bruschetta options, the cheese board, pizzas, lobster ravioli, the chef's special, filet mignon, wine, and most of the desserts for a holiday company dinner. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and our server was attentive and thoughtful. It can get a little loud and difficult to hear when the tables are full, but otherwise it was cozy even at a long dining table, and exactly what I hoped for when I booked the reservation. We will be back, thank you!

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!
