We had a lovely dinner and our waitress, Storm, was amazing. She was attentive, helpful with the menu, and very friendly. The restaurant was full but we never felt any need as everything was anticipated before we felt one. With the restaurant seemingly completely full, we arrived on time for our reservation and didn’t wait even a minute before being sat; this is unfortunately not typical anymore but most appreciated. We look forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu.

First time here and it was great! Didn’t come expressly for happy hour but we were presented with a nice happy hour menu at our regular dining table. Had the lamb meatballs and smoked bacon wrapped dates for appetizers. They were delicious and the fresh baked pita that came with the meatballs was outstanding! Though it was a busy Friday night, the noise level was not overbearing and their beautiful lighting made for a relaxing dinner. Noelle provided excellent service. Bravo to all! We will definitely return soon!

Not the most romantic ambiance for Valentine’s Day. Tables were very close to each other, and a photographer was moving around the dining room and taking flash photos all evening. The food was okay, but the poached egg on my wife’s bucatini was very overcooked. It was pretty disappointing.
