    We just moved into an apartment a few blocks away, and this was our first night staying there. We wanted to try somewhere new with outdoor seating to accommodate our dog and were able to make a reservation and walk over within the hour. The service struck the perfect balance—attentive without being overbearing. We never had to wait for anything, yet we had the space to truly enjoy our night. The food was outstanding. We shared the gyozas, croquettes, and chimichurri steak—each dish offered something unique and memorable. Everything was perfectly paced: quick enough to feel seamless, but spaced just enough to savor each bite and sip of our drinks. Prices were very reasonable for the level of quality and care. The next morning, I realized I had left my purse on the back of my chair. I called around 10:30 a.m. (before they opened) and spoke to someone who I believe was the manager or owner. He was kind, confident in his staff’s integrity, and reassuring. He said without hesitation that if it was left behind, it would be safe and untouched. He followed up exactly as promised, confirmed that it had been found, and let me know I could retrieve it that evening. It was a refreshing reminder that there are still places—and people—who care. Not just about the food, but about their community, their patrons, and doing things the right way. Highly recommend this spot for both the exceptional dining and the integrity behind the scenes.

    Really charming gastro-bar, focused on italian/mediterranean deliciousness. You can tell by the quality of the food that it's made to be intentionally above average, these little details in each dish add up with something more unique. Great service, great advices. Will definitely go back!
