This was our first time here, and it won’t be our last. We were informed it was a new menu starting the night we were there. My wife and I had an excellent time and definitely want to go back since we saw many other things on the menu we want to try. The filet my wife ordered was delicious as was the chicken Marsala. Dessert was excellent as well. Our server Angel was delightful and informative through the whole night. Parking is directly across the street from the restaurant. I would like to check out the rooftop bar as well next time. Grazie mille!
