    The food is exquisite. It’s well- prepared and delicious. We had the mussels to start and they come with shoestring potatoes on top for a fun dish to see. The sauce is yummy. For our main course, we split the hanger steak. It was delicious and we couldn’t finish it. Got to bring some home. Their portions are very large. We had the molten chocolate cake for dessert with vanilla gelato. I highly recommend everything we had and all the dishes on the menu.

    The noise level is usually high but was too much for one night of sólo dining. There was a diner who had a real high voice at the table and then started a phone conversation there and all the way into the men’s room. Very disconcerting. My waiter was great but forgot all about me. 20 minutes after my appetizer was eaten I had to hunt down someone to pay. This place serves great food and normally has excellent service I must’ve just hit it on a bad night

    Hadn’t been in awhile. The four of us loved the variety of the brunch/lunch menu which included the usual breakfast fare, plus a ribeye if you’re really hungry. Started with the strawberry scones. these were so moist and delicious. Husband had the huevos rancheros and the rest of us had pasta dishes. All beautifully presented, flavorful, fresh ingredients. The service impeccable from Maria, our server, and the attentiveness of the busboys. Will definitely be back. Cozy atmosphere.
