Super yummy! Really enjoyed our first time dining here. They made us feel special on my boyfriend’s birthday. Thank you!
What a PERFECT New Year’s Eve celebration. I took myself out to dinner alone and I was seriously convinced no one was possibly having as great as a night as I was lol! The drinks, the food, the atmosphere…absolutely perfect every single time, but especially tonight. I have to mention, I was so impressed when my bartender must have noticed me babysitting my drink and at some point just poured it into a new chilled glass. No one’s ever done that. Top tier service. The live band was truly the cherry on top. And might I add… they poured complimentary glasses of celebratory champagne for the whole restaurant. I felt spoiled! Can’t wait to come back.
The host went out of his way to accommodate us when we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation. We sat at a table in the bar area and our bartender/waiter was attentive and professional. The fried olives were excellent but brussels sprouts were no better or worse than any other establishment. My Caesar was outstanding--you could taste the anchovies and the twist to use different greens and feta really worked. K's jumbo shrimp lived up to it's name and he liked the arugula and bean mix it came on. Overall a pleasure to dine there.
It’s a vibe. The food was phenomenal and I can’t wait to come back to try their other dishes. We ordered the burrata/ prosciutto/pesto pizza and the wild mushroom pasta. The pasta was such a pleasant surprise, fresh pesto, with this rich sauce that was complimented by the morel mushrooms… chef’s kiss..oh and the pizza was incredible!
We had a good time here. The cocktails were tasty and the food was pretty ok. Wife liked her fish entree and the olives appetizer. I found my burger (and the bun) to be a little dry and not especially flavorful but not terrible. I enjoyed the ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, it was one of those surprisingly good combinations.
