    Best prime rib French dip ever!! Soft bread and meat melts in your mouth. It was my birthday and we had reservations for 6. I needed to add two more last minute and they were so accommodating. I will be returning soon.

    Food was so good! Had the meatball app, chicken parm and cacio Pepe. Meatballs were my favorite. Great service…so glad I was able to get a reservation.

    The roasted tomato burrata with pesto starter was amazing. I had the kale salad with salmon and my husband had the chicken pot pie. It was all delicious. Servers (we sat at the bar) were very attentive. Seems to be a neighborhood spot as all the customers seem to know each other, which is nice. We’ll definitely be back.

    This was my first time at the restaurant. it was festively decorated and offered a handful of holiday cocktails. The spiked egg nog was a treat and came with a small gingerbread cookie. Food wise, there was not a gluten free bread option nor sourdough bread to sub for the breakfast and lunch sandwiches nor a GF pasta option. I ordered the breakfast sandwich without bread. The eggs were dry and there was no flavor to the meal, including the crisply potatoes which were dry. I did not finish the meal and instead ordered a side of the house potato chips. At least those were good, the drinks were fun, and service was great overall.

    It’s a fun, well designed space but the food fell short and the menu is very limited. My cacio y Pepe pasta had a thick, white tasteless sauce. The truffle fries, however, were great.

    My first time at this location. Wonderful design! Incredible food. The service that Arturo provided as well as the other staff was exceptional. I will definitely recommend this to others moving forward. My sole piccata was unbelievably delicious.
