    The most amazing place!!! From the moment you walk in and Bridget greets you to the incredible food and impeccable service. Our highlight was the gnocchi, branzino and cacii de pepe. But the best part was the experience and hospitality from Bridget who provided the best service. What a fun night!

    Really fun restaurant! Staff were very kind, patient, and attentive. The guacamole was good! I ordered the steak tacos and those were not good. The steak was really really dry. My friend got the side order of Brussels sprouts and those were divine!! I would go back - I just wouldn’t order the steak tacos. Overall, it’s a very nice restaurant!

    We had a lovely dinner, but upstairs was very loud. The combo of crowd voices and loud music made it hard to have a conversation. Drinks were great and fries very tasty. Really enjoyed the Brussell sprouts! Service was good and server very friendly, but felt like she was really in the weeds and therefore unable to pay as much attention to us as she would have liked. But others stepped in to help when she was unable to, so your team was working well together.
