    The tasting menu was interesting and delicious. Everyone was more than satisfied with the tasting menu and their choice for the main course. The only thing we all found was that the noise level was high and it was sometimes difficult to hear or follow the conversation. Otherwise, an evening enjoyed by all. Service was excellent and great care was extended about one of the dining member's allergies.

    First time visiting this restaurant with 3 other friends. Overall the food was good but wish there were more than 2 meat/seafood options. We ended up just ordering 3 appetizers and 1 pasta and left to complete our dinner at another restaurant. Service was efficient and welcoming and so no complaints there. Do miss the former occupant, Autostrada that had a more varied menu and our group agreed tasted better. We may give it another go in the near future if the meat/seafood entree options expands.
