Food was good; cavatelli special was fabulous but the risotto was rice pilaf. Service was okay - waiter did his best but it was clear he had too many tables tonight. Overall a nice experience and we are glad we came.

Exceptional! Everything about our experience was outstanding. Service provided by Aaron was top notch. He was attentive without hovering and anticipated our needs. I require multiple glasses of water and assured they were full at all times, without my asking. Food was delivered promptly and efficiently. Speaking of food, creative combination of ingredients with excellent results. My wife had the duck and I had the lamb. Beautifully prepared and presented with exceptional blend of flavors and textures. Curated the finest ingredients. Not splashy but instead, comforting. Finally, atmosphere was wonderful. Quiet, warm, and inviting. Lighting is perfect. Overall, a great atmosphere. We have been enjoying the wonderful brunch for more than a decade. First time for dinner. This will become a go to place for us. Thanks to Michael and the entire crew. We are grateful.
