Dined with a group of old friends for a much-needed get together and had a fantastic experience! Our server Jorge was excellent and set the tone for a great evening. He was attentive, explained the menu really well and was just a fantastic young man overall! Beautiful and amazingly delicious food, great ambience, and stellar hospitality. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had post-Covid and although many restaurants are still struggling with staffing shortages, etc., you are 100% nailing it! Thanks for a wonderful night!

All our meals were delicious and portioned large enough to share. We had squash rissotto, salmon, steak and fries, and a couple salads. Everything was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to have leftovers for lunch today. This is a gem of a neighborhood restaurant and I can’t wait to go back.
