    Food was fabulous as always. Bean soup, garlic bread , lasagna, apple cheesecake Yum. Waitress was attentive and helpful. We were glad we ate outside- the dining room can be VERY loud.

    Like all M restaurants we have tried so far, M Test Kitchen is amazing. I loved everything we tried, and we tried almost everything! Imaginative, creative food and stellar service. Even the bathrooms had understated elegance. I recommend this restaurant highly for a special occasion.

    We were very impressed with the service, food quality, presentation, and taste. We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer, and they were delicious. Our meals of tagliatelle, bolognese, and the wild boar dish were all amazing as well. To top it off, the almond cake we had for dessert was sooooo good! They were very accommodating with me having Celiac Disease and needing to have everything gluten free (with the exception of the wild boar which my husband ordered). We will definitely be back!!!

    Lovely experience dining outside. Inside always seems quite loud- so I’ve always opted for outdoors. Food was exceptional. Especially broiled oysters. Very personable wait staff. My second time here and I’ll be back for sure.
