I had leek soup, which was nice and hot, good presentation, and tasted good. My wife had a salad, which she said was good, large pieces of feta cheese. The bread was warm, soft, and tasty. She also had the prime strip steak, which was cooked correctly, to order. I had the caccio e pepe, which was better than expected, and I really liked it. Quality over quantity. My wife had Riesling, I had red wine (ironically, should've been the other way around given what we ate). I had a red Burgundy, which was good; then a Willamette pinot noir, which was a very nice sequence. She had a lemon cake for dessert, I had a vintage port wine, which was quite good. Overall we enjoyed the meal. Loud at first, but it quieted down. Narrow space to walk between tables, then larger as more people departed. Spent $250 with tip.

Fantastic food and great wine selections in this lovely spot. The octopus appetizer was our favorite, and my husband really enjoyed the orata special, my duck confit was good, maybe just a touch dry if I had to pick on something. Service was attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and really enjoyed the food.

There's so much to like about this restaurant - ambience, friendly service, good crowd and solid menu. However they have too many incidences when the basics are not done right. I had not been for a while since my last visit when it took them 3 attempts to cook my lamb chops to order. On this visit our daughter's steak ordered medium rare came out medium well to well, 2-3 levels overcooked. She was initially reluctant to send it back but we convinced her. We were told it would be replaced in 8 minutes but it actually took 15-20 by which time of course we had long finished our entrees. The replaced steak was cooked correctly and in fairness the restaurant comped dessert but I would much rather just have the food executed properly first time around. The menu is not overly long so it's a mystery how a routine item like cooking a beef tenderloin or lamb chop can get so badly messed up. A shame because otherwise this place is delightful...

Everything about our entire dining experience last weekend was perfect. The ambience was wonderful. Our server was great. My meal came out slightly overcooked and was immediately taken back and replaced with another that was outstanding. The wine Somalia directed us toward exactly what we were interested in for our preferences in style and varietal. We found an incredible bottle of wine at a very, very reasonable price. Overall, two 👍 up for sure.

Way too pricy for the quality of the meal. Beef tips were overcooked and the scallops were average. Too many staff members for a small space. Lots of movement and hovering amongst bussers.
