    I had leek soup, which was nice and hot, good presentation, and tasted good. My wife had a salad, which she said was good, large pieces of feta cheese. The bread was warm, soft, and tasty. She also had the prime strip steak, which was cooked correctly, to order. I had the caccio e pepe, which was better than expected, and I really liked it. Quality over quantity. My wife had Riesling, I had red wine (ironically, should've been the other way around given what we ate). I had a red Burgundy, which was good; then a Willamette pinot noir, which was a very nice sequence. She had a lemon cake for dessert, I had a vintage port wine, which was quite good. Overall we enjoyed the meal. Loud at first, but it quieted down. Narrow space to walk between tables, then larger as more people departed. Spent $250 with tip.

    I had out of town guests, from ga. With all of the places there to eats. They were over excited with open table. Think for your help in making my guest enjoy their visits. Everything was great, even the water was great. The waiter, the seating, everything. I just love this place. Just one thing, I think my guest may visit more than before, Which means I will c u all more. We just love open table. BIG THANKS, to you all.

    Everything was A1 from the time we arrived until we left. Adam was FANTASTIC!!! His sense of humor, his professionalism, his friendly demeanor provided the best service I’ve received out of all the times I’ve dined. What I did find that was disappointing, is how casual the dress code is. There was a time we would dress up to come dine. However I was noticing guests wearing jogging suits and gym shoes. It just changes the entire ambience.

    We had a hamburger and salmon with sticky rice. Both delicious. Great service . Our server took our order electronically so it went directly to the kitchen. We paid electronically at our table!
