My roommates and I went for the community appreciation night with the discounted menu. We booked the reservation months in advanced because it’s so popular. It lived up to the hype and everything was delicious. Our favorite dish was the vodka pasta!

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
