We went in on a Thursday night at 6:30 PM. I was surprised how quiet it was, but as the night went on- it filled up. It was our second time here. The food was good, and everything came out evenly. The appetizer was delicious- the burrata- one of the best I had. One of the best parts of the night was our server, Jessica. She was friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Definitely ask for her when you go!
