    The food was fantastic! The halibut was absolutely perfect and the tagliatelle was spectacular. We really enjoyed sitting at the chef's counter and watching the fire. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience! Can't wait to visit again. Definitely order the bread!

    Updated review: Food and service were good. Originally I had posted about an awkward incident that happened. Thankfully the manager reached out and took my complaint very seriously. After she investigated the issue it turned out to be a bit of a misunderstanding. Great response from management.
