    Everything was spot on! Food was cooked perfectly. Timing was on mark. Pierre, the manager checked on us twice. James,server was there when needed but you never felt smothered. That Bolognese was the best pasta dish I’ve had in Reno. And I’m Italian. Al dente with a killer sauce. Beet salad was also wonderful! I’m not sure why there are negative reviews but I can tell you there was not one thing from start to finish that I could criticize. And I own restaurants in Tahoe. And oh yes, the key lime cheesecake was also perfect. Check it out. You won’t be sorry.

    This place should not have "cafe" in it. This restaurant feels high end and has quite a few gluten free options for the sensitive eaters. I enjoyed the halibut and my husband enjoyed the spare ribs. Highly recommend for a date night!!! Great cocktail list as well and happy hour during the week from 4-6!

    We enjoyed our small plates and the food was very good. The poke was very sparse, mostly wontons, favorite was the beef tips with spaetzle. Dessert was very good too.
