We had a great experience for Valentine’s Day. The servers were very attending and the restaurant had nice ambiance. I especially liked that they offered a purchase of a dozen roses before the reservation, which allowed me to surprise my partner. As for food, everything we had was delicious. Definitely recommend the Spicy Salmon Tartare Cones, Handmade Cavatelli, and Truffle Filet.
