Excellent, extra-mile-type service from real professional servers and delicious food. Buzzy ambiance with cozy spaces. (The lighting actually makes a big difference in this restaurant.) Excellent bar and wine list. Our server Parker willingly subbed out bucatini noodles for the polenta that came with the special Osso Buco. But then he brought out the polenta in addition and my husband was converted to a polenta lover! The Spicy Gemelli pasta is an awesome perfect comfort food for a cold night. The kale salad is my favorite side. The flourless chocolate cake with ice cream was also excellent. Parker actually brought a second chilled martini glass and replaced my husband's glass! I highly recommend this restaurant!
