The experience was nice - we were seated first at the broken table, which hostess was aware of so she moved us. I think the table should be fixed before you seat your guests there - not appropriate. Very long wait for food - when it arrived was cold pizza and pasta, probably was out for a while. The birthday desert was on the house which is very nice

Lemon pasta is awesome. Have to get that and I also got the octopus for the main. We dined there for lunch and was pretty quiet. The service was decent but didn’t feel anything special. Would try there for dinner for a better ambience but I’m sure there’s a line. The price is pretty high, but you can taste the quality of food and cooking. Will try again.

Very high end feel with creative menu selections. It is great for a light healthy dinner . We had an amazing dessert that was just the best end to our Anniversary dinner. Excellent pairing of wine with the meal and Waiter knowledge.
