    We had a delicious dinner from start to finish. Our server was friendly and attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We shared the burrata appetizer that was an exceptional blend of flavors (beets, blood oranges, pistachios, and pomegranate) served on a bed of arugula and topped with delectable burratta. The bistro fillet as well as the chicken Parm were cooked perfectly and both were outstanding, and the portions were large. We were not rushed and enjoyed some great conversation, followed by dessert - affogato and specialty donut holes with raspberry sauce. We will be back!
