I was looking forward to the squash ravioli, but unfortunately it was so sweet it should have been a dessert. I also didn't care for the cubed pieces of squash in the sauce, but that's a personal preference. The steak tartar was more veg than steak, which I found weird However, I still love this restaurant and will continue to go back as most everything on the menu is outstanding and they mix a good drink. I'll just avoid these two things in the future.

Service was outstanding but we weren’t happy with the recent menu changes. The new bruschetta with the ricotta was terrible. The previous version was delicious and we were shocked that it was changed. Also, getting rid of the meat sauce was another poor decision in our opinion. The meatballs have pork in them and not everyone eats pork. Only having marinara sauce as an option for the pasta is a very bad decision.
