   Unfortunately didn’t live up to the expectations. We waited 15 mins to be seated with reservations and another 15 to be waited on, on a Sunday. We were set in a small table that we had to pull out from other guests just so we could sit comfortably without our chairs hitting. The food was just average, and didn’t match the price of it. The only thing we enjoyed was the drinks and they were still $15-$20 a piece.

   We went before a show for dinner. Tables are small and not really comfortable. Feels like a very sterile cold place when you look around—Hard small chairs and small tables- all light brown and white decor. We were greeted when we sat and then it took the waitress 15 minutes to come back to even put in a drink order. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. 1 dish came out hot and 1 came out kind cold. Food tasted good though. I’ve been before and had better service and the waitress waiting tables near us seemed good. I’d go back again. Just wish the place was a little more inviting and cozy.

   Service was excellent! Food was tasty! Ambience for a date night was perfect! However, Parking was challenging! Valet parking would have been fantastic!

   Fantastic food and awesome bar. The bartender cannot updated the cocktail list frequently but could make anything you want, but the features are great and often have house-made ingredients. Try the margarita, and ask for it with mezcal if you like smoky! My wife’s favorite is the blackberry marg, but the new blood orange was great too.

   Although the lighting was not to my liking, dining at the bar was quite nice. We shared appetizers of artichoke bruschetta and the prosciutto, both of which were very good. The white ragu tajarin and the linguini alla vongole were both excellent. The linguini had a wonderful subtle heat to it, and the portions were spot on. We ended the meal with a pistachio gelato affogato…different, but really yummy! Look forward to another visit in the not too distant future.

    Excellent food with outstanding service. Ambiance and reasonable pricing makes this restaurant a favorite before a show at DPAC.
