   This neighborhood gem is among lots of busy restaurants, and although it has a street presence, you might not notice it. Their outdoor area is on the north Avenue side. They have done what they can to make it quieter and cozy. We sat next to a gas fireplace and we’re protected by substantial plastic sheeting on a cool spring night when we chose to sit outside. Especially good dishes were the arugula fusion shrimp, the bread, pasta carbonara and bolognese and pork medallions. service was impeccable and I thought the prices were reasonable considering the excellent quality of the food. We really enjoyed our evening there.

   A definite neighborhood treasure. Cozy ambience. Menu has something for everyone. It was all delicious and the service, in spite of a very large party, was attentive, friendly and set a nice pace for the meal.

   Great waiter. Great food. The outdoor seating was pretty. It was an event going on the day I came so we had no choice but to be outside. I would have preferred indoor seating because that’s what I requested during reservations. Cheesecake is so creamy and delicious. Our waiter tried his best to accommodate my friends and I when I needed to move table because someone was smoking a Hookah. The two issues I had was not being informed that I would be sitting outdoors and there is Hookah smoking permitted. But food was good and I wish I knew my waiters name but he was a great guy.

   Could not find reservation in their system after multiple people looking. Staff had attitude including server and we were seated at the smallest table with a chair pushed against a wall when the restaurant was not full at all. Seems like fix was done on purpose. We decided to just get up and leave without eating here.

    Starting with positive; setting was nice (dark, blue shades on chandelier lights). We have been before and sat outside on patio for drinks, which we liked even better. The menu… *way* too much going on. The pastas we ordered were a big miss, and I’d suggest ditching 70% of the menu, which had an Italian restaurant meets Chili’s feel. Halfway through the dinner, the restaurant turned a YouTube electronic music festival on to max volume. Another patron asked them to turn it down (all patrons were confused by it), and it quickly turned into a max volume karaoke session. Just a totally out of step vibe with the setting.
