    Let me start by saying that service was impeccable! Starting with the hostess being very attentive and nice, to our server that was 10/10! Food wise, we ordered the tuna tartare which was good. Not a classic tartare but really good! A very nice surprise with the tonato sauce, paired with micro greens and freshly toasted bread and olive oil on the table. We continued our meal with two seafood dishes and the shrimp and mussels were cooked beautifully. The restaurant offers a nice cozy atmosphere and did we mention that the service and the staff were amazing? Mr. Franco Porporino (the owner) seems to care very much about his restaurant and customer satisfaction and that left us very impressed. All the best and happy holidays, Anca & Liv

    Loved the service, food, atmosphere! Thank you to the chef and staff for a beautiful dinner! Tuna tartare for appetizer was delicious. Chilean sea bass was so light and tasteful, and the ribeye was flavorful and cooked perfectly accompanied by great creamy spinach. I will be back! :)
