It’s nice and dark but you can see- very good old- person lighting. They offer excellent food and drinks. We ordered family style. Lemon pasta, carrots, and meatballs were the best. Salmon was cooked perfectly, a simple dish. We got prompt and attentive but not overbearing service-top notch. The bartenders were incredibly efficient while we waited for our table- considering how busy they were. That all said, something about it was lacking in a special experience. Perhaps I’d try on a quieter evening when I’m better rested with a well-charged social battery.

There was a delay bringing the meatballs so they comped them for us plus treated us to our after dinner cappuccinos. The service was above and beyond and of course the food is always delicious. This restaurant is one of our favorites!

Service team was amazing, they all seemed to work together. Nothing in particular seemed to stand out & it was noted we were celebrating a special occasion which was not mentioned by main waitress.

I will say we did make a reservation for the dining room and we’re told it could take 30 minutes to an hour to be sat, which was disappointing.
