    Great service and food. Beautiful old building. Had hummus eggplant and cheese appetizers. Branzino entre. All great. Didn't care much for the pastacio cheesecake but will return to try some of the other desserts.

    We were 12 in our group. What would have made our experience all 5s would have been the timeliness in delivering bar orders and refills of water. Suggest not serving soda in cans but glass with ice.

    Food was great! Was taking my time enjoying the meal and I kept getting asked if they could take my plates and use the small table we had. Other than that service was good. Just felt rushed

    The patio dining was lovely. The food was excellent. You do need to ask about the breakfast brunch menu - was not on the card menu. The breakfast/brunch was a spread of wonderful small plates brought to the table for a fixed price.

    The food was excellent so fresh and good and really delicious. It just was a little loud with the music but other than that it was a great restaurant and I would totally go back when the music is louder. People talk louder.

    Food was terrific. And the service. When they brought out the dessert cart, I almost cried because by then I was too full to eat any more. Will have to return just for the desserts later.
