Our evening could not have been better. The service was friendly and attentive. Waiter, bartender, and sommelier responded to all our requests and went above and beyond, dividing our entrees since we shared two, finding the right wine when our first choice was unavailable and making an excellent mule! Appetizer of mussels was excellent. The two pasta specials were delicious, sea bass and gnocchi. On a snowy night it was cozy and relaxed.
