    My boyfriend and I came for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and we got a sangria and Old fashioneds which were great!!The food was AMAZING. The Parker house rolls, the mussels, the steaks 🤌🏼 The only negative thing I have to say is that because we had a later reservation (10:00) we felt pretty rushed to order our food, thus feeling rushed to leave. It didn’t negatively affect our experience too much because the food was so bomb but definitely expected a higher level of service (minus the bussers and food runners who were friendly and great).

    It was a rainy day, the bar was busy during happy hour but not loud. The specialty drinks were tasty and of different creation. From reception to table service, Erin or server... and the restaurant manager, the service was good, responsive. We had some issue with the 1st wine we selected and Erin noticed we were not drinking so she offered a change. Manager came, we settled and was happy with the new selection. Same thing happened with my Cioppino. there was hardly any seafood. I showed Erin.... Manager fixed it. :) It was a tasty bowl of Cioppino. That is the kind of service I would expect from any restaurant. Thank you Erin, Leo and evening Manager. We will be back for the service and the view.
