    The mac & cheese and brussels sprouts starters were outstanding. The linguine was also quite good. The gnocchi texture was good, but the flavor was pretty bland - very disappointing. Service and drinks were good, and it was a perfect evening for eating outdoors.

    Everything was great! My only observation is that the volume was a bit too loud, which made it difficult to have conversations and enjoy connecting with others. Other than that, everything was wonderful!
