The waiter told us all staff had Covid and they didn’t know how to make any drinks, chef had brought in his brothers to help cook who have never cooked before.

We dined here on Thanksgiving (2023), and our meals were excellent! Service was great. We found out after dinner this was our server's first day, and you would never have known. I marked the noise level as "moderate", but it really is on the lower end of that. ("Quiet" didn't quite fit.) Highly recommended, especially for a holiday or special occasion.

A beautiful, intimate restaurant with amazing dishes. Scallops and shrimp with lobster grits is a must try. Everything served is top notch. Chef/owner Marcello runs an amazing establishment and visits each table personally to check with visitors. I've been there a few times and will definitely return. Anyone into the food scene needs to give this hidden independent gem a try.

Four of us dined here a year ago and returned. One year later, same problems. Once the food orders were taken, it took awhile before the waitress exclaimed they were out of two of the four food orders and we had to elect something else. Next, it took an exceptionally long time for the food to arrive. When it did, one of the orders, eggplant bolognese over squash was inedible. The waitress was kind enough to remove it from the bill. They have to some problems to attend to. Most likely will not return.

Service was spotty as in the case of a lot of restaurants. They were short handed on our visit but did apologize and did their best. The noise level on our visit was loud but I don't think this is always the case. The food was excellent with the exception of the deviled egg appetizer. I would definitely visit again.

When we first got to the restaurant we were not greeted by anyone and had to awkwardly stand around and wait for a little bit. This was our first time there, I expressed that to our waiter eho seemed to less than interested in serving us compared to the table next to us that ordered many alcoholic beverages. Jeff, our waiter, also mentioned no specials to us and did not come by to ask how our food was. Food came out great, we had asked for it to go boxed. They had ran out of boxes therefor mine was spilled inside of a lid with foil wrapped around, in which the food spilled all out of the container inside the bag. At this point I really wanted to like the place but unfortunately, I will not be returning again for a long time. Not happy with the service and the food was just a l too overpriced.
