    Exceeded expectations! Great food, great vibes, amazing service. 100% date night worthy with a nice dining room and bar area. Highly, highly recommended. Took my wife for Valentine's day dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated upon an on time arrival. The place was packed with couples, large groups and singles mingling by the bar. Our server greeted us with within minutes offering to take drink orders and to give us a bread basket. The service the entire night was spectacular! We were checked on by our server and a buser. We started with the martini and lavender lemonade. The martini was a 10/10 with blue cheese olives. The lemonade had a generous amount of purple top shelf gin. No complaints! The food is delicious. Started with the long hot peppers- blistered long Anaheim peppers with crispy crumbled sausage and (what I think was melted shaved parm) with bread crumbs on a bed of smashed spicy tomato and olive oil. It had a nice kick- 10/10 For entrees I had the boneless chicken scarp. What a dish! The sauce is not the typical type you'd get at a catering hall. It was much more flavorful with more depth. The potatoes, crispy sausage, boneless plancha'd chicken were perfect. I even ate my broccoli and carrot. Another 10/10. My wife had the sole. Slightly over done but she enjoyed. I have to say it looked great with the tomatoes and artichoke. We finished with the chocolate mousse with fresh strawberries and cream ... really, really good. The mouse had a slight coffee taste, it hits perfectly. Just a perfect way to end a great meal. The live music and lively crowd really made the vibes amazing. We'll be back and absolutely want to try more.
