We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.

Loved the moody vibe - its esthetic is giving Frank Sinatra. Loved the Smokey and masculine energy from the room. Definitely looks like a place for a BNO, business meetings, or just to grab some drinks (like the husband and I did) We loved it A+
