    Dropped off my girls while looking for parking. A little disappointed that we were seated outside. After talking to the hostess, she assured us that she would move us in when the table was available. All of the waiters were attentive and friendly. The food selection was limited (maybe it’s due to Christmas). Requested capellini over fettuccine but turns out it wasn’t an option. This would be my go to if I live near by but not if I had to drive for an hour.

    The food was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Given that it was Christmas Day, the wait staff were fantastic. You would have received five stars but two things: we were never told of the 90 minute limit which I totally understand given the holiday but we were not told that initially and the staff other than our waiter tried to get us to hurry. The other constructive comment is that there are at least four tables near the front door and we had one of them with a party of seven and a couple of seniors in the group. The front door continued to stay open despite us asking to have it closed; but a faulty door jam kept it open. I literally spent half my meal closing the door and holding it open for other customers. My table finally fixed it ourselves within two minutes using ribbon we had from our gifts-simple fix that the hostess or one of the other staff could have easily have rectified and the customers at the tables would have been completely happy.

    Arriving for the early bird special was great. We sat inside but would also love the outdoor seating with the fire pits. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a great salty (not too) crust on the bottom paired with the sweetness of the quinoa mix. Fantastic.

    The food is outstanding. The music is too loud making conversation difficult. But I’m going back

    Great last minute dinner for my friend and I. Our server was very sweet and gave great recommendations. I ordered the mussels and the black pepper fettuccine both of which were delicious. The only thing I wish I knew before going in was that they don’t have a full bar- only wine and soju cocktails
