We had such a lovely dinner here. If you want your mind blown get the truffle gnocchi and truly any pizza, so so good! Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed everything they had to eat and drink. Service was lovely and gave great recommendations. Especially love the vibe of the back room.

I was told 1 hour wait, lots of “reservations” but there were lots of empty tables so I opened my open table app and made a reservation for the exact time I was there. Insane

Amber, I'm so sorry to hear this. That's not how we operate. We have a new host in training and unfortunately mistakes like this end up happening until our staff is fully brought up. Not sure what this was exactly about. Anyway would love to treat you to lunch or some other cocktails on the house. Please reach out to me via email so I can accommodate you.

Food and Service always consistent ... very good. The NEW room is lovely, although a bit loud when full. Enjoy going to lunch with friends. Don't feel rushed.
