    The most delicious meal I’ve had in a long time. Everything was outstanding, from the entree to the pasta, wine, and tiramisu. I’ll be dreaming of the food there until I go back.

    Delicious food, great cocktails and excellent service! I have an onion intolerance and the manager went above and beyond to accommodate for my dietary… to the point of getting spare avos from his other restaurant. We’ll be back in a heartbeat and make the most of the happy hour!
