Amazing food and service. However, they weren’t sensitive and didn’t ask about food allergies. I am gluten free and was surprised that the Tofu on the stir-fry was fried. The waiter didn’t know what the tofu was coated/battered in. I definitely felt sick afterwards but thankfully it is not a serious allergy.

From the time we walked in until we left, we felt not but the utmost hospitality from the FoH staff. Our server was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu. The food came out timely and everything was delicious. We were seated near the chef’s counter and it was fun to watch things being prepared. The focaccia, cauliflower, beets, and short rib risotto were incredible and the cheesecake shouldn’t be missed. Highly recommend this for your next dinner spot
