    What a fun and delicious evening! The only thing that outmatched the food was the incredible staff. Service was above and beyond outstanding! We enjoyed the bruschetta, gnocchi, duck lasagna, brocollini, whole white fish and the rib eye steak. Cocktails and dessert were creative and scrumptious! We could tell a lot of care and passion went into everything. Shout out to Esther for making the night super fun and memorable. We will be back for sure!
