    Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Everything we had was incredible. Loved that they offered smaller portions on the menu and a full variety of dishes. Seafood. Pork. Beef. Vegetarian. Service was a great, a little slow but it was a VERY busy night. Loved seeing the team effort with food being brought immediately to the tables (vs waiting on the server to bring it) and staff running drinks to tables outside their section. Will return. 5/5 stars.

    The steak was prepared perfect, it had a delicious season and a nice crust. The mezzaluna pasta was yummy but would be nice served with some bread. The broccolini perfectly prepared with a little spice/heat. The mashed potatoes were amazing. The ambience was nice, not too fancy, it felt warm and cozy.

    Easily the best dinner we have had in the city. The drinks to start were great, I had the house old fashioned and my other guests were drinking the champagne martinis. We started with the seared ahi tuna which was the perfect appetizer, although the others looks tasty as well. The Sommelier, Mark stopped by our table after we ordered our entrees to gauge our tastes for the wine selections paired with our orders. We went out on a limb and let him choose our wine for the evening… probably the best decision of the night. My NY Strip was a perfect cut, and somehow cooked even better. My guests had different pastas to split and those tasted like nothing else in the city and paired with the red wine everyone was more than happy with their decision. Last but certainly not least was the service - we had a rotating order of service members checking on us ensuring the experience was top tier. We stopped by the speakeasy for a nightcap and thoroughly enjoyed it. Terrific experience all around. We will be back!
