Good food and service. Blinds on the windows would be a good improvement-No need to see the automotive business next door. Would go back.

First time here and I will definitely be back. We shared Burrata Toast as an appetizer. Excellent. For main courses, we had the pasta of the day, which was penne with an excellent, very flavorful, tomato sauce and the "Steak and Potatoes" which was spiced tri-tip, garlic potato puree. We also had a side of asparagus with crispy parmesan, balsamic glaze, garlic butter. Then we shared the carrot cake for dessert. Everything was superb. The service was also excellent all evening. The only negative is the noise level. The restaurant was moderately busy and the noise level was pretty high as there is only cinder block walls with nothing to absorb noise.

You absolutely must try the focaccia plate! It is amazing. The seasonal salad was wonderful, and the chicken Katsu was on point. Such a great atmosphere, and quality food at reasonable prices. And loved all the seasonal cocktails! Highly recommend!
