A very nice restaurant. Unfortunately, there was a very strong storm and we had to take everything in hand. This made the room a little louder. The personal service was very accommodating. I would definitely go back.

Incredible service that really understood the menu and wine list. I celebrated a birthday and they met me in that celebration. Quality was matched with inspired food. Maltagliata pasta is next level!

Beautiful venue but was very cold when we arrived as the roof was open and it was a cold night. We had to move our table a couple times and they finally closed the roof and gave us blankets and it warmed up. At that point we began to enjoy ourselves and had a wonderful, very tasty meal and great service. Would return.

Food flavors are outstanding. Great for date night or group dinners. Ordered and must try items were the Oyster Mushroom Kebob, hummus Masabacha, lamb neck shawarma. Love the Nebuchadnezzar cocktail, great twist on an old fashion.
