Came here before a performance at GableStage and will definitely do that again! Made a 5:45 reservation and was happily surprised to be able to order from the lunch menu - a generous 3-course for $35. Service was great and food was delicious.

Spicy rigatoni was incredible, probably by far my favorite rigatoni I’ve had. The octopus pulpo was interesting, not what I expected but still very good. Seafood tower was disappointing. The wine recommendation was excellent! Service could have been a bit better.
