Fantastic neighborhood restaurant a block away from the Performing Arts Center. Our waiter - DeVon - was fabulous. We had appetizers of octopus (perfection!) and arancini and an entree orichette with brisket.
Adam, Sierra and the chef were ABSOLUTELY amazing. Wonderful customer service and the food was delicious. Great taste and beautiful presentation, can’t wait to come back.
First time at this restaurant and it has been excellent. We ordered the octopus, pasta bolognese, oysters, Brussels sprouts. All the food was delicious. Great service. We will definitely come back for more.
I cannot say anything better about this restaurant. The service was immaculate, food was incredible, drinks exceptional. I will recommend this place for any date night no matter the day of the week. We got the branzino with mushroom risotto and the special which was a red pesto linguine with shrimp. For drinks we got a smoked old fashioned and a aperol spritz. As an appetizer we opted for the “side dish” Brussels. Please give them your support so we can keep this place alive!
Sierra was amazing such a great server! It was busy yet she attended to us swiftly. Atmosphere is beautiful and the food is amazing the best Cesar salad I’ve ever had was very fresh! 10/10 overall!
Wow! Absolutely perfect. The octopus was shockingly tender and delicious. The filet was super tender. I substituted the bruddle sprouts as my side, and they were cooked perfectly. My husband got the Bolognese paste and ate more than I've ever seen him eat! Even the bread and butter was mouth watering. Also enjoyed the smoked old fashion and the honey bee cocktail. Both were delicious. Service was the perfect balance of attentive, friendly, non intrusive. What a gem;
What an unexpected surprise! I am visiting the area and from the minute I walked in, the staff here was welcoming. The ambiance was warm and the atmosphere was unique! My server, Sarah, was amazing and delivered a great service experience! The Airline Chicken was undoubtedly the best I had ever had. I will return!
10/10 will be back . From the first impression to end . Great! The front of house manager, Sierra , was also very multitalented. She served us and made our drinks ! The food did not need any extra seasoning. Scallops and shrimp cooked perfect. The airline chicken, juicy, seasoned, and perfectly cooked. All the dishes were great from bottom to top . I think this is a great restaurant to bring family, business meetings, and date night . I wish you guys a blessed and prosperous next 10 years !
