Reservation was at at 6:00. Had our drinks, appetizer, and entree all on the table within 15 minutes of being there. Rushed out. Didn’t ask if we wanted a second drink. Only got to be there in total about 35 minutes which is not the experience we were expecting celebrating a birthday. Prior experience at the restaurant had been great before this time.

Our food was excellent. We had the beef carpaccio as an appetizer and we both had the chicken for our meal. There was definitely enough for us to both get a doggy bag. I felt the creme brulee should have been in a shallower dish so that there would be more of a crispy topping. It was still tasty. The noise level in the back room is a bit loud. Next time I will request a reservation in the room off the bar. We will definitely be back.

Our waitress was absolutely the best! She paced the meal perfectly, was attentive to potential dietary restrictions, kind and professional. The food we all ordered was excellent. The restaurant checked off every single box and we highly recommend!!

Pasta was good. The bread for the ricotta toast (they replaced this when we told them that this tasted burnt) and the burger (the sauce helped cover up the burnt taste but you could see the bun was charred) was burnt which did not lead to pleasant experience.

The four of us each had different meals, and each one was exceptional! The brussel sprout appetizer was amazing as well. Our server, Corrinne, was absolutely the best server we have ever had. We all commented on her attentiveness and her knowledge about every question we asked! Thank you, Corrinne, for making the evening special!

We were a party of 4. Our server was excellent. All of us greatly enjoyed our meals and look forward to returning in the future. We were seated in the downstairs level which is fine, but lacks the ambiance of the main level.
