    I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

    My partner and I ate at 730 for Valentine’s Day. We were sat in the back, which was a bit quieter than the main area, and we were served promptly with excellent customer service. We ordered calamari and the New York steak special, and everything was delicious. Our bill was just over $100 for the two steak meals (which each came with two sides), the calamari, three soft drinks, tax and tip. The ambience was cozy and intimate, with tables for two set with flowers and electric candles. I will be coming here again and I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner out.
