    Small, intimate dining area indoors. Very attentive wait staff. Parking might be a problem so walked to restaurant from a nearby hotel.

    As always, the food and wine were terrific. Service was respectful of our chatty, slow pace but very attentive.

    Great service, but even better was the food. Staff was attentive, the wine list was great, and the food (ravioli) was amazing! Definitely will return.

    Fabulous location with tables set apart well enough to help with the noise level. Dining room very attractive and very attentive staff. Food was not good. Both pasta and salad had almost no taste and for the price, surprising.

    Really appreciate the professional servers who took good care of us without extra unnecessary chatter. Keeping an eye on the diners and dishes through the night and quietly doing their work while we visited over great dishes. And not too loud for talking as in so many restaurants and no loud annoying music in the background. Thank you.
