Took us a bit to find the restaurant inside the Nordstrom store but it was worth it. The food was very good including the lemon ricotta cookie we shared for dessert.

The entire experience was wonderful, starting with a very warm and welcoming Hostess who checked us in for our reservation and explained some of the menu to us. After being seated, we were readily greeted by our server, who was very personable and attentive to our questions and needs throughout the dinner service. He patiently explained the differences in our wine choices, suggested various dishes, and explained some of the local sourcing for our dishes, which we really appreciated. Our appetizer and dinner dishes were delicious, fresh, and hot! There was a nice pacing between our appetizer and dinner and we savored every morsel. And our server made sure our water glasses were filled and asked how our meals were throughout. We will definitely come back!

Outstanding service from Jae and the entire staff. Excellent meal: caprese salad was very flavorful, pasta with clams and pasta with sea urchin exceptional, and the panna cotta was perfectly prepared. Cocktails and wine were delicious, and the chilled limoncello a lovely finale.
