    Good food and great service. One of our dishes never made it out of the kitchen so we just cancelled it and they gave us free tiramisu.

    Our server, Forbes, was exceptionally pleasant. He allowed us time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering and then the order came promptly. The food was delicious, the wine selection was great and the overall evening was very enjoyable.

    Ezra did a great job taking care of us for our friend’s birthday dinner. The food was tasty and came out in the order we asked. The mushroom pizza, chopped salad, and rigatoni bolognese were delicious.
