   My husband and I went here for my 40th birthday celebration. We were running slightly behind our 7 pm reservation; I called and they told me they hold a reservation for 1 5 minutes, and they were ready when we arrived, and we were taken right to our table. We started with the Parker house rolls with chef made butter of sour cream and one of chive; they were both delicious. Then we moved to the acorn squash and burrata appetizer. I LOVED this dish, and it tasted fresh but also carried flavors of winter and fall. My husband didn't care for it. I think it was because it was a cold dish, but he simply it wasn't his thing. For our main course, we split the beef wellington and gnocchi "mac and cheese". Talk about DIVINE. The beef wellington was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the gnocchi mac and cheese tasted heavenly with lots of cheesy goodness ambidst the pillowy gnocchi. I got a cocktail and my husband got a beer to start; those were both delicious, and then a glass of Malbec for our meal, which came moments after the food was put down. We were far too full for dessert, but they graciously gave us each a glass of champs for my birthday. :)

   Service was impeccable! Food was so delicious! We had the pork chop and the brussels sprout salad. Salad was vibrant and fresh and the pork chop was melt in your mouth delicious (along with the sweet potatoes). The only negative is that we were seated at an awkward two-top next to a pole. But we would definitely return and tell all our friends to try it!

   The food was amazing. There wasn’t a single dish that fell behind in terms of taste and flavour.

   Truly mediocre food and drinks. The space is kind of cool but why do they have bobbleheads on display.

   We loved the ambiance. The gnocchi Mac and cheese was amazing! My husband had the duck and said it was a little overcooked. My branzino was very delicious!

   Nice space. Limited menu. Arancini balls were small but tasty. Salad was big enough for two. Short rib with polenta was outstanding. Nice piece of branzino was well cooked. Disappointed in the beignets as they tasted on the stale side. Noise level was more than energetic. Difficult to have a conversation without raising one's voice.

   I had very high expectations of this restaurant and sadly they were not met. There were some positives- the bread and butter was AMAZING. The arancini were very well made (I personally hate truffle but my companion wolfed them down). The service was good. While the ambience was great, the noise levels were too high to easily have a conversation. The remaining food didn't meet my expectations. I didn't enjoy the burrata - I didn't understand why it was with a cold slab of roast squash, and the sauce had an odd taste. The gnocchi mac and cheese was good, but way too big a serve for an appetiser. I had the pork chop which was insanely large. It was tasty around the edges but it looked pretty raw in the middle. My companion had the cauliflower which could have been delicious but was essentially just half a cauliflower on a plate with a few garnishes - no real flavour had been developed in the cauliflower itself. The entrees were so huge we couldn't finish them so we opted to skip dessert Overall I found this very overpriced for the food quality. I won't be back.
