The food and staff were lovely, however the wine list was not extensive enough and I believe the average bottle of red wine to be at least $250 is quite absurd. There was only one or two options under $100. Considering we live in the area with many amazing wine bars and restaurants that offer great affordable wines, we unfortunately won’t be coming back anytime soon.

We ordered the Feed Me Menu for lunch, and the selection was brilliant, thoroughly satisfied. The food was amazing, perfectly sized for two, and the limoncello spritz were exceptionally delicious. The service was impeccable.

This place is fantastic. We sat out the back courtyard and it felt like we had been transported to Italy, and we were on vacation. The service and food were exceptional. The vibe was so relaxing. the staff were so nice and friendly. Thankyou :)
