    What a disappointment, the food was mediocre, stale burned bread, soggy pizza, average pastas and the 12 layers cake was the biggest disappointment so chewy with no flavor.

    Worst service experience we’ve ever had dining. Made a reservation and still waited 50 min to be seated and waited another 30 min to receive our food. Larger parties who had reservations up to 45 minutes after us were seated first. We had to check with the hosts three separate times to make sure they hadn’t forgotten about us but the host staff was not apologetic or accommodating at all; they were actually rude and sarcastic. Absolutely disappointing experience, especially considering it was on Mother’s Day. While the food was good, I could never recommend dining here after our terrible experience.

    The restaurant had amazing vibe. Very hip place. The food was nothing special. Pastas were blah. We got the crudo, it had no flavor. I would not go here again.

    Music was way to loud didn’t realize I was going to a club in the day time….some of us just want a nice atmosphere to easily socialize outside of the house. The first time I came was great with the live violin. Maybe go back to classier things.
