    Lovely interior with attention to good acoustics as well as aesthetics. We both enjoyed our salads and my husband had an excellent lasagna for his entree, I was not impressed with my lobster ravioli but will try something else on the menu next time. Service was very good we were made to feel welcomed from the first encounter with staff.

    A tremendous dinner. Austin spent a lot of time working with the kitchen to accommodate my wife’s allium allergy. They modified the scallop entree and she ended up with a great meal. The scallops were perfectly cooked. My pork chop was also excellent, as were the focaccia and burrata. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had requested outdoor seating, and we were immediately shown to our table on the patio, very quiet and private. And this was a Saturday night!! Austin, our server, was outstanding: quick service, knowledgeable about the menu, and overall nice guy. My husband had the Lobster Ravioli, which he raved about. I had a Pesto Pasta, which Chef made specially for me, flavorful, al dente and delicious. We shared grilled asparagus, tender and lightly seasoned. The portions were not overwhelming, which was refreshing. My husband finished his meal with the Tiramisu, which he loved. The atmosphere, the service, the cuisine were all excellent. We'll be back.
