    Excellent food and service. The burrata appetizer was SO flavourful. My wife said she will be craving it until our next visit, which may have to come sooner than expected. Our server, Max, was great—the right balance of attentive and knowledgeable.

    My husband and I had a great experience, easy access from the Fairmont, no wait thanks to our reservation, and a classy, clean ambiance. Service was attentive and quick. The food was just okay despite the strong reviews, but overall, it was a pleasant night out.

    Our anniversary dinner started off great. Micah was our waitress. She was very attentive for the first 30 minutes. Then she disappeared for the next 30 which was incredibly disappointing. I saw her go fetch a bottle of wine for another table which seemed to have taken forever. My husband and I were planning to have coffee and dessert but after waiting that long we got the check and left. Disappointed

    前台帶位的人員非常緩慢，需要許多耐心等待。 但外場服務生服務良好，但出餐速度有些緩慢。整個餐點調味良好。

    Our server Jody was awesome. Our two first courses were 5’s. We got the insalata and cioppino and could not be anymore pleased. On our third course, we got the rockfish. It was both over-seasoned and overcooked and swimming in oil. It was so salty. Rockfish is such a beautifully mild fish, lovely with a light lemon butter sauce. I really wish we had picked the lobster carbonara or veal Parmesan. Yet, still a 4 overall.

    Had such a nice dinner here! The gnocchi was absolutely delish and the focaccia was so fresh and soft. We did sit at the bar area since we made last minute reservations, so it was a little loud, but that wasn’t a problem for my husband and I. Highly recommend!

    The food was outstanding. Our server, Maximo, was wonderful. My husband left his hat and Maximo ran through the hotel to return it.
