The space is very cozy and classy, and the service was very attentive and professional. The food was either too sweet glazed / sauced or too salty. Our biggest feedback is - please don’t have trivia night on a Friday at 7pm. We were planning a nice cozy date night dinner with conversation and had to leave in a hurry because of the noise.

The food was GREAT! Octopus salad was one of the best, as were the tacos and the Veal Milanese was outstanding. Wine by the glass was great as well.
