   Limited parking on Fri. night. Rode around several times and finally got a spot in parking garage few blocks away. We agreed late afternoon to a dining time change by the restaurant, which was fine with us. Waited for table to be cleaned and were happy where we were seated. Took awhile for waiter to bring our menus and come back to take our orders. Winter burrata was excellent and mushroom risotto and steak done to perfection! Shared chocolate mousse and it was a nice light touch after our meals. We have eaten here a few times a year and this was the first time we had a time change and parking issue, but we will continue to go back because it is one of our favorite places to dine in Montclair!

   Cute restaurant. Nicely decorated as well. The service was quick. Some staff members could have been better rehearsed in terms of menu and communicating with the guests. For apps we ordered the ravioli and burrata ( forgot to take a picture ). Burrata wasn't the best it was tough and not melt in your mouth type of burrata. The pesto sauce for the ravioli was amazing. Entree portions were decently size and tasted good wished the server came by to see if we wanted cheese or pepper but they didn't. Overall cute place to celebrate a birthday or romantic dinner.

   Food was outstanding. Very good service. They only had a few dessert offerings but wasn’t sure if that was by design or they had run out of some others. Coffee was delicious though.

    All food was delicious except my risotto. Hi sent it back once because it was so salty I couldn’t eat it. The second time was equally salty. I did not send it back a second time. I am Gf so it was a big disappointment. However everything else was yummy so we will be back again

    food was amazing!!! every single thing we ate. we had the burrata crostini, arugula salad, garlic clams. the sauce on the garlic clams was so beautiful you had to make sure there was more bread to get every drop. the strawberries and balsamic on the crostini was delightful. the entrees were amazing. the fresh pappardelle with tomato cream sauce lovely - with the large meatball. the meatball was good not great but good. the salmon - perfect. the other pasta entries - the dishes were wiped clean. we took our 24 year old daughter and her fiancee for her birthday - perfect. elegant, modern, food worth it. desserts beautiful and delicious. huge bowl of berries with fresh whipped cream. flourless chocolate cake with raspberries. sam was our server. we'd ask for him again. the bus crew was attentive and so sweet. definitely recommend and, we'd go back no hesitation.

    Food preparation and food presentation were outstanding. Service was impeccable with very. close attention to detail. Although the menu may appear 'small' when viewing it on line, there was also a full page of 'specials' offered on a Saturday nite; choosing was quite hard since all sounded like gourmet dishes! Our meal started with delicious warm bread. For apps, we had salad with a rosemary Vinaigrette, clams in a tasty sauce (great for dunking bread), and meatball (more the size of a meatloaf!). All were delicious! For entrees, we focused on the special fish dishes and homemade pasta specials: Wonderful! Its a BYOB and we all cant not wait to go back! This will be a new favorite!

    Celebrated a birthday on Sunday evening and loved the restaurant. The burrata with strawberries and balsamic vinegar was out of this world. We loved our dinners and will definitely be back soon. Others have mentioned the noise level which is a little loud but I didn’t mind as we were talking and laughing the whole evening.

    Very good restaurant. Food and service are always good. The noise level is beyond energetic. You often cannot hear your dinner companion speak. It’s not a date restaurant unless you’ve already been on several dates. LOL. That is the one thing that brings the overall rating on the restaurant down. When we decide on going out to dinner, that is often a consideration.

    We’ve dined here many times. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday. The service and food were great as usual. We felt way too rushed vs in the past. We’ve been here this time of year many times. We were asked to leave at 90 minutes as we were taking the last sip of our espresso. If we were advised we would have done our best. Wasn’t a pleasant experience.

    The restaurant looks wonderful with the recent renovation. The food and service was just great. The only issue, and it is a biggie…the noise. I would love to see what they might be able to do soften the noise levels a bit.
