    Roger was our waiter. He was very nice and handled our party of six with ease. The squash blossoms were delicious!! The bread with a new taste profile was enjoyed by all. The entrees were tasty. Loved the pottery used for the dinner service. Excellent all around.

    First impressions - I really wanted to like this restaurant as it is nearby. Made an early reservation and specifically asked NOT to be seated next to the service area. Guess which table I was immediately led to? I was grudgingly moved to another table and seated. Service was excellent but the food was not. The lobster shooter was tiny bits of lobster in a butter-filled shot glass. Meh. The prosciutto and burrata plate would have been good if the prosciutto had not been pre-sliced and sitting on the plate in the cooler for who know’s how long - it was literally glued to the plate and each piece had to be scraped off to eat. The burrata was good but the sticky prosciutto sort of ruined the dish. Several pieces of the accompanying bread were completely burnt on one side and others barely toasted. My final course was the mushroom risotto. It arrived covered in a dried parsley garnish..while this may “look” attractive it does nothing for the taste. Adding dried bits of greenery to a risotto gave it an unpleasant taste and the pieces get stuck in your teeth, something no one appreciates while dining. The taste of the risotto was ok but nothing exceptional. That was my overall impression, ok but nothing that would make me want to return to try other dishes. The place filled up before I left so it’s obviously popular with local diners but I must have missed those dishes. I’m disappointed because it’s very close and would have been a regular dining spot if the food was good.
