We were actually surprised that during a very busy holiday season, not only was the noise level within easy conversation range, the service and food were exceptional and very well attended!

Overall: great experience - perfect holiday date night. The meal was delicious - we enjoyed the soup and salad, and our main courses were superb (my boyfriend got the wagyu special and I got the chicken orecchiette). The space was cozy and comfortable, and our service was excellent.

Went for a dinner this time with the family. Had an incredible dinner from the appetizer to dessert. The staff was amazing, service was fast and precise. The food was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot. The drinks were perfect as were made by a professional bartender. The price was on par for an amazing dinner. My wife and I have eaten here quite a few times and honestly have never had anything other than an wonderful experience.
