We had a fantastic meal and a really fun night! The staff are all friendly, and chatting with them only added to our enjoyment. The sommelier is generous with his time and wine, answering our questions and offering tastes. We had a bunch of dishes, not a one of them missed the mark - I recommend the crudo, parm bites, monkey bread, and lemon pasta!

We arrived just as they opened. First time cooking/grilling/searing meat myself. Had the lamb chops, daughter had the steak. The ambiance was like that, jazzing and welcoming. Tracy our waitress was outstanding.
