Amazing experience. Would come again. But server was all over the place and was very hard to find when ready to order. Took about 45 minutes to place our order for the appetizer and took 3 hours total for our dinner experience which was a little too long. Other than that good experience.

Excellent food. The short rib ragu and boar ragu pastas are wonderful as are their salads. The beet salad with toasted walnuts is excellent and some of the best burrata caprese I have had.

Every single item we ordered was wonderful. It was nice to be able to eat healthy and bright food that wasn’t overly seasoned. The atmosphere and location are top notch, perfect for catching a meal before a concert at Walt Disney Hall. Though the food is a bit expensive and the portions on the smaller side, I would definitely revisit and recommend the restaurant to others
