Food was outstanding. Had the sea bass and scallops. Risotto as a side—some of the best we ever had. Local craft beer unnecessarily expensive. Wine list could use some expansion and updating. Front of house and server were very attentive. Fairly busy but food was served in a timely manner. Fresh, hot bread was very good. Overall a very good experience with outstanding food.

Lorena was our waitress. She was amazing! You can tell she wants her tables to have a great experience. We had the oysters Rockefeller and scallop app. That was followed by short rib and lamb chops. We finished with a creme brûlée and cannolis. We washed this all down with a bottle of Chianti. All the food was delicious. No complaints at all.

Loved it! The sushi was fresh and delicious! The service(Dave) was attentive. They were able to make a vegan adjustment to the miso ramen and my drink was yum! Highly recommend. I would like to return!
