Overall an amazing experience. Service was impeccable as was the quality of the ingredients. The menu was presented and coursed out perfectly during service. Drinks were beautifully balanced and needed nothing extra. The affogato at the end was the perfect complement to finish off our meal and perfect for sharing!

It was a great experience overall. Do be aware the menu is divided mostly into courses, which I wasn't aware of when I blindly walked in. It wasn't a problem though, we ordered what we wanted and got it very quickly since each course is slightly smaller than a full entree. The staff and the quality of the food were the best part in my opinion.
