    Belated Valentines dinner for us as the weather did not permit on Valentines Day (snow storm) Our waitress was excellent as was the food, however there was a table with about 10 ladies that sounded worse than a hen house, we politely asked our waitress if we could be seated elsewhere because they were just talking too loud, (actually screaming at times) Our Filet Miñon, was perfectly cooked, and our scallops and garlic mashed potatoes were divine. Definitely coming back.

    All was fantastic! Only compliant was out of their control - extremely cold night and it was chilly when patrons would enter and exit. The drape they put to cover the door helped a little and recognize this isn’t the norm.

    The menu was very impressive, with multiple options that my wife I were eager to try. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and helped us decide on what to get. After ordering appetizers, pasta, desserts, and multiple drinks I was also surprised that the bill was lower than I expected, especially for the quality of everything. We will definitely return.

    This was our second visit . The first was a disaster, but it was very soon after they opened. Tonight, it was outstanding. We had the burrata salad, very unusual but really excellent. The addition of the oranges with the bitter arugula was very tasty. The entrees were excellent, we had the veal and halibut. And the chocolate pana cotta was perfect ending.
