Fabulous venue. Came here for the inauguration and made dinner reservation on a lark. We’re from Florida and did not know the restaurant. Now we do. Wonderful experience and delicious servings start to finish. We will be back.

The food here is insane! From the bread to the olive oil and olive dip they give to go with it…so good. I had the ravioli and my husband the lasagna and they were outstanding! This is a new favorite I now have. The only thing I don’t love, but it is just what is, is the closeness of tables and noise level. However, I would sit with someone else to get a table here! Make reservations!!!

My clumsy fingers have somehow erased my previous detailed song of praise. Sorry, but I have to be quicker this time. Morgan was our server and we had many questions and discussions - we could not throw her. Everything she recommended after listening to us EXCEEDED expectations. (We stayed so long her break came before dessert so her manager kindly stepped in and recommended a dessert I would normally not have considered - SO good!). We felt lucky to get to sit in a quiet but jolly atmosphere and catch up and laugh. Looking forward to next time!!!
