We ate at the bar. Service by Kat & Vinnie was impeccable. Attentive but not intrusive. The background music lent a sophisticated, luxurious vibe to our evening. Would highly recommend & hope to return soon! ❤

We love this place, but be ready for a whole new menu! We used to love the duck nachos now replaced with duck tostados...they are good but not like the nachos. That could be personal though. The place is still wonderful. Our waiter was amazing a lot of fun. It is now owned by the same restaurant group that owns Union League, but still nothing like Union League-the atmosphere is still the same.

We were a group of seven and our server was ver friendly and accommodating. Food was fantastic and large portions. Stuffed squash leaves were amazing as was broccoli rabe and mussels. Our meals were even more delicious if that is possible. We had various dishes including veal, eggplant, pasta and chicken. Everyone was more than satisfied. Arturo is an awesome chef. Love this place.
