    I was surprised that my faro salad was basically a pasta dish. It was served hot with the cheese melted in and wasn’t what I had expected from a “ bowl”. It was still good but I was looking for a bit less faro and more tomatoes and arugula…

    The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.

    More than five stars. Absolutely amazing. Every staff member there was so kind. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here—we were greeted with champagne, gifted a delicious side on the house, and they even ended our night with a complimentary dessert. We could not have asked for a better experience. Everything was delicious. The burrata was fantastic. We will be returning & recommending this place to our friends!
