    It was too dark in the restaurant. They couldn’t do separate bills or even 4-5 different bills for a party of 14. The pricing was way too high.

    The short rib is amazinggggg. The salmon was cooked well but didn’t nearly have as much flavor as the short rib. Drinks were ok.

    Our dinner was great. It was nice to be seated at a table as opposed to the bar. The cocktails were delicious. The sea bass was amazing, as was the chicken parm, which exceeded our expectations. Service was fabulous. The flatbread was only so-so. But overall, excellent dinner.
