Absolutely incredible evening! The hospitality, the service, the cocktails, the appetizers, the salads, the main entree, the wine, the dessert: All impeccable to create a magnificent evening… There was a private party of over 20 people right behind our table. We could not even tell. They had a folding divider and the acoustics of this place are so incredible. We also loved how they had set the tables in a way that everyone was able to mingle. Yes our next big gathering for sure is at Alexi’s… Kudos to the team…

Lobster ravioli in sage/brown butter was amazing, as was the Bolognese Ragu. My previous visit included the Spaghetti Neri, it's another amazing dish.
