Skratch kitchen did not disappoint. For starters, the calamari was some of the best I have had. My wife had the Orchetta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe, excellent. I had the Chicken Savoy, delicious. The Pistachio Tiramisu. We have enough for a full meal tomorrow. The owner came out to check. Nice touch!

Do not pass up the opportunity to experience Olea!!! It was truly phenomenal in every way. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly by the hostess and the experience just got better from there. Knowledgeable staff took care of every aspect of our dining experience. Evan has an amazing knowledge of wine and Madison saw to it that everything went smoothly! As for the food, our steaks were out of this world; cooked to perfection and flavorful, they are worth the splurge!! We will be back!!
