    i know this makes me sound no fun - but im sober RN, and i dont eat cheese or gluten. i ordered a zero proof drink, and they brought me an alc one instead - i realized after a sip so not the biggest drama - but also not fun. then i ordered my pasta sans cheese on top -but it arrived with. given service was really slow and it'd taken awhileeeeee to get our food, i elected to just scrape cheese vs send it back - but again - not ideal. in general service felt slow - after i was finished, my main sat for 20 mins before they took it at my request. the music was really loud for such a small space, and the music had lyrics - which at times pulls attention from a conversation cause the brain doesnt know what to latch onto. the room was also really warm - which on a 90 degree day, can be a lot. that the bill was over $200 didnt feel great.

    Hung out at this restaurant last night. It seemed like a cool place to catch up with friends. The ambience was good and the menu options were aplenty. The food was delicious and the staff members were helpful.

    Our waitress Bea was very sweet and friendly. I ordered the tagliatelle with traditional ragu and it was the perfect amount and exquisite. My girlfriend ordered the Pesto and she loved too. We happy with our experience here.
