It’s a terrific spot with very tasty food, nice vibe, loud but not deafening! Gave only four stars for service because the staff was solid but not exceptional, and the kitchen struggled a bit to keep up with a busy - but not crazy - Friday night crowd.

I can’t believe I’ve never been here before. Classy old-school Italian fine dining. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. Ambiance was cozy for a cold night. This is going to be my go-to for special occasions!

The atmosphere is hopping. The bar seems quite popular and the tables were full and animated. The servers were so busy taking care of customers and checking in, I kept bumping elbows on them. The servers really hustle here. All the food was delicious. I loved the eggplant napoleon, but I could’ve ordered 10 other tapas on the menu and been very happy. Will definitely return.
