Had a great experience here with another couple, shared some burrata and thoroughly enjoyed the short rib ragu. The sommelier was fantastic and selected a great red to cater to all our dishes and tastes.

Service was terrible very slow. We were there for over an hour and a half before we were served. Our food had to wait almost 40 minutes to be seated and we were seated in a badly dimmed area chairs were wobbly and some of the staff we just rude.

Great restaurant! Will definitely go back! We celebrated our anniversary here and the service was top tier despite them being very busy. The food was delicious and has smaller portion sizes, so you can enjoy an appetizer, entree, and dessert and be satisfied.
