    Literally flew in Saturday and straight to this restaurant after unpacking. Loved it all: small physical place, courtyard seating (covered and heated), excellent service from Jonah, and the food? Delish. Quail appetizer, sea bass, branzini, and the asparagus ravioli with such an interesting sauce. Highly recommend but get a reservation!

    Sat at bar and had great service and drinks. The salmon was perfectly done and the corn ravioli was silky and divine. The Tiramisu was fluffy and went down fast. Great meal!
