We were greeted by a lovely hostess and quickly seated. We had a choice of still or sparkling water which came right away. Our waiter was a different story. Inattentive to the point that he asked how our appetizer was and he had yet to bring it. When our food arrived the chicken in our salads was overcooked and burnt and the ravioli consisted of just five pieces. We never saw our waiter until everyone was finished and he just seemed put out when we asked for the check. We absolutely understood when a restaurant is busy and your waiter is hustling, but this place wasn’t even half full. Oh and you have to pay $14 to park. Not worth a return trip.

Excellent food and service. A little noisy for me but my hearing isn’t as good as it used to be. Shared the mushroom crostini and pork belly - a good amount for the 3 of us. Wife had lobster ravioli and reported a good amount of filling and a good flavor. Nephew and I had the bocitinni (sp?) with pork belly - at first it looked like a small portion but it was deceiving, plenty to enjoy. Great selection of bourbon.

The restaurant was so cute, great energy and super fun place to take my friend for her birthday. They gave us complimentary champagne and a dessert! The waitress was so lovely and the food was all delicious. I had the truffle fries and lobster ravioli, would highly recommend both.
