    It was a wonderful experience! Loved the ambiance, the service was outstanding (thank you Dylan & Brighton for your wonderful personalities and providing such a high level of professionalism), cocktails were excellent, and food was good. Eggplant rollatini, sausage & veal parm was very good, bacon was good, but New Zealand rib eye ($70) had no bone, no marbled fat, no char, no flavor.

    Great cocktails and service. The food was amazing. The wine list had an excellent selection, and the owner(Francis) was very helpful in picking out a wine to match our food. A wonderful dining experience!
