Reservation was easy to check in, they called me and sat us right away. The dining room has a great private atmosphere. It was pretty loud and I wasn’t able to hear the person I was dining with frequently. The food was delicious though. The bucatini pasta dish was amazing and the tiramisu was delicious. They gave a large portion of the tiramisu.

I love that the menu is seasonal. I had an appetizer (garden salad with caramelized anchovy dressing, pickled cauliflower and wafer-thin croutons) and the parisian gnocchi lardons with squash veloute with a lovely sparkling wine. The service was impeccable, and it was surprisingly quiet, given that the restaurant was mostly full for lunch. Beautiful decor and ambiance, would be perfect for entertaining out of town guests or for a special occasion. I hope to go back to enjoy other seasonal menu creations.
