    I had heard great things about this place and wanted to check it out. It didn't disappoint! Loved the ambiance -- very quiet and relaxing for a business lunch. Server was attentive without stopping by too many times or interrupting. He recommended the ravioli which were AMAZING. My colleague is a vegetarian and the menu had tons of options for him. Will definitely be back!
