    Excellent food and service. A busy night, so perhaps a bit noisy, but only because everyone was having a great time. In addition to the food and service, the atmosphere is fantastic, so it’s no surprise this is a popular spot for gatherings.

    Very beautiful restaurant. Food was very authentic Italian cuisine. Service was great. I felt a little underdressed since a lot of customers were in ties, dress pants and skirts.

    We booked a reservation. Got sat at a tiny 2 top in a hallway which everyone walked by. The waiter seemed to have too many tables to adequately refresh our beverages and check on us. Food was good

    The evening was off to a bad start when the Matre'd came running at my husband telling him that hats were not allowed. He was wearing a black Stetson with a beaded hat band, a dress hat. My husband barely had both feet in the door and hadn't even taken his sunglasses off yet. The Matre'd was very rude about it. Of course, one of the staff was wearing a baseball cap while working. If you are going to have a dress code, all 4 of us feel things like blue jeans and flip flops should be banned also as well as very sloppy blue jeans and untucked shirts. Please be consistent.

    Everything was perfect, we were celebrating a birthday and the staff made it a special experience. Food was fabulous, had the sea bass special which was amazing. Great wine suggestions as well.
