Haven’t been here in years, but do not know why- it’s excellent! From specialty cocktail “gin & jam” to main courses “shrimp risotto” … others’ dishes were also terrific. We will be back!
Seriously amazing meal right downtown! Some of the best Italian we've ever had! Service and selection was superb and fairly priced! We will definitely be back!
I went there for my Birthday. A friend of mine had recommended me this place and I'm so glad I went, the food was phenomenal it passed my expectations. The food felt fresh and my family love d it. The service is 10 out of 10, I forgot his name but he was very polite and he was able to go over every question I had about a dish. I will definitely come back to this place!
I've given this place a few tries. The first visit was great—good ambiance, service, and food. The second time was just okay. My most recent visit, however, was disappointing. I went solo and sat at the bar. The hostess was friendly, but that was the only moment of hospitality I experienced. After sitting for several minutes, the bartender wordlessly dropped the menus in front of me while continuing a lengthy conversation with a visibly intoxicated patron a few seats down. Throughout my visit, the bartender seemed entirely focused on a group of regulars, leaving my half-made drink sitting for over five minutes—twice. I felt invisible, sitting in the middle of the bar, completely ignored. The eggplant parmesan was beautifully cooked and presented, but it lacked seasoning and was very bland. Even extra sauce didn’t help much, and I left most of it uneaten. When someone dropped off the marinara, they didn’t acknowledge me at all. No talking, not looking at me, just another oddly cold interaction. I can see the charm and potential in this place, and the bartender is clearly charismatic with the regulars. But for me, it felt unwelcoming and exclusive. As someone who enjoys meeting new people and making conversation, I was surprised by how out of place I felt. We likely won’t be back anytime soon—unless our friends that frequent QB twist our arm.
Fantastic service and incredible food. Wasn't too loud either. We ordered a bunch of stuff and all the appetizers and desserts were wonderful! Everybody also loved their entrees.
