Despite a 445pm reservation, the restaurant was energetic and filling quickly. The food was fantastic, and our server was exceptional. An overall wonderful experience.

We were seated unexpectedly in a semi-private room featuring a display of mostly Italian red wines. It was a bonus. Our server, Anna, was attentive and knowledgable. The entree selections were all quite appealing. Spaghetti Frutti di Mar was exceptional. My family members enjoyed Chilean Sea Bass and Yellow Tail Snapper dishes. We toasted our glasses of Brunello de Montalcino!
