Was an amazing experience from the moment of the walk in for our reservation, through the beverage orders, the explanation of the order plating and sharing opportunities, as well as the energy and exemplary attention of our host. The food was spectacular and the desserts topped it all off as we closed out the evening. Highly recommend to anyone to check it out and will definitely be a repeat.

Service was great, with frequent touch points from our server , checking on our table. Food was very good, although the Fettuccine Alfredo came out with hardly any sauce….so we asked for a side order of the sauce. Half price wine can’t be beat- Had some Paso- Cab Sav, was amazing.
