   Food was very disappointing. Octopus and patatas was greasy with little flavor, Branzino was fried and not very good. Wines by the glass are a poor selection. Service was distracted. Will not be back

   I ordered pecan salmon, the salmon was great but the surrounding sauce and rice were tasteless. Everyone else liked the food.

   Our waiter Richie was outstanding. He was patient, thoughtful and very engaging. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. I had eggplant parm that arrived with three slices of a delightfully flavored and lightly breaded eggplant, topped with buffalo mozzarella and a home made tomato sauce, and a side of pasta. Everything was absolutely perfect! That dish was $13, and it was too much food. Half of it came home and I could not resist finishing it that night. Truly exceptional. My friends ordered the Caesar salad which arrived with a homemade delicious dressing, shaved parmesan, light and crisp croutons, and French white anchovies on the side. If you don’t like anchovies, don’t shy away from these! They are marinated in white wine and have a very light pickled flavor. They have no bones and will have you searching for them in the specialty grocery stores. The salad also came with a large slice of baked cheese to enjoy with the salad. It almost looked like a very large cracker, but my friend said it was delicious. She is a person that always leaves something on her plate….not today! $10 for the large Caesar salad. My third friend ordered a sandwich that arrived on focaccia bread. It was a rather large sandwich. It looked fresh and beautiful and was piled high with assorted items, and a beautiful little side salad with heirloom tomatoes. Not a standard side salad but very appetizing looking. She was only able to enjoy half the sandwich and the remainder was boxed for home. $14 for sandwich and salad. I made reservations in advance and notified the restaurant we were celebrating a birthday. When we arrived at the table Richie asked whose Birthday it was and offered a sweet Happy Birthday. Finally, after an outstanding lunch a dessert arrived for the Birthday girl. It was a large complimentary slice of Chocolate fudge pie topped with fresh whipped cream. I know this dessert has a French name. It was rich and decadent. Great experience.

   Had a fabulous lunch with some women friends on a Thurs. It was not at all crowded and very quiet with lovely background music. I loved the decor and atmosphere...very light & bright with Italian touches, but modern. Thomas was our server and was very attentive and friendly. On his suggestion, I had the ricotta bruschetta with fig jam, honey & pistachio (great!), heirloom tomato salad & Tuscan soup. Everything was delicious! Several other items on the menu I would like to try, so I plan to go back. Prices are on the high side ($30 + tip for lunch with 1 glass of wine). The dinner menu looks very interesting too, but prices are significantly higher. I'll have to wait for a special occasion.
