"I loved everything about this place. Definitely recommend and I’ll come come back. All staff treated me nicely and Ryan was exceptional server. Food was great too, I had the meatballs with polenta and was amazing. Great experience and the atmosphere was very pleasant."
Jessica Alves
"Wow wow wow! 10/10 dining experience on a recent business trip. Absolutely everything on the menu looked delicious, but I had to go for the pate appetizer; silky smooth and a perfect complement to the crusty focaccia. The dessert sorbets were a great palette cleanser after the meal! If you’re dining solo or as a couple and love to cook, the bar offers a great view of some of the kitchen expo. My server Cameron (and all the staff, honestly) was attentive and on top of their game!"
Abby J. Molen
"A huge shoutout to the chef! Every bite was an amazing experience, from the appetizers to the entrée and dessert. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! I was genuinely blown away and delighted! Thanks also to the bar crew, everyone was super friendly! Seriously, hats off to the chef! I could feel my the love in those plates! And also get back to my childhood memories."
