Great food! We had the charcuterie board and the grilled oyster flight to start. The charcuterie board was definitely worth it and wasn’t small compared to others at similar price points! The grilled oysters were phenomenal! We also shared the gnocchi and pasta trio - both of which were great (but very very big!)

The food was really good. A few of the items we ordered were amazing, and some of the items could use a little more salt in it, but it was definitely a great place. Make sure to have a reservation because the place is really busy.
