Had a great time! The chefs menu was a great option and value - we were able to try so many things! We asked to be moved to the patio due to the noise by the kitchen and it was really lovely. Definitely recommend.

Our server was incredible. The food was amazing. I ordered the Bronzino and it was so nice when the waitress brought it out to show me before the chef hooked it. We chose this restaurant because it was outside of the theater district and had more of a neighborhood feel. It lacked any pretense. Overall a great experience. Everybody in the party enjoyed their meals one Branzino, 2 Salmons one pasta.
