We had a really great dining experience here. The staff is warm and friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the food was really great. Some of the best we've had around here. We also really enjoyed the wine selection. We shared the asparagus salad with burrata and two pastas, and every single thing was a home run. We're going to save some room for next time to have dessert. Have to make a quick shout out to the charming hostess who was so sweet and told us all her favorites on the menu.
