Experience was amazing. First time. Four of us went after Matinee performance at Sondheim Theater and our reservation was for 5:30pm. We were 30 minutes We had 2 family members surprise us and they accommodated our party of 6. ALL staff were so friendly. Our waiter was an amazing Opera singer and entertained everyone with his singing and we had a great time! Food was wonderful. Absolutely what we needed in our lives today!! Thank you.

Incredible - no notes. We were luckily sat in the booth in the back, so the noise level and ambience were perfect. The chrysanthemum salad and buffalo milk caramelle pasta were the best dishes we had. I will note that we had a fish allergy in our group and a lot of unexpected dishes included fish sauce, so just a heads up. She was still able to have some menu items, but not the “staple dishes” like lasagna or salad. Would be thrilled to go again!
