Our server, Sam was outstanding!! Her style of service, gracious, authentic, and knowledgeable made our evening!!! The decor is chic and relaxed, and we enjoyed the patio, because it facilitated conversation more so than the lively bar/main dining room area. I did not prefer the execution of the Cacio e Pepe, yet we will most likely return for the service and the ambiance.

I’m thankful that upon confirmation of the reservation, the hostess paid attention to my request and moved our party inside. Further, upon arrival, our server noticed that the table assigned was a bit crowded for party of 6 to sit in and took the liberty to move a table over to make the meal a little more comfortable. Overall food was good and service was top notch! Will definitely visit again!

I like their protein options and the fact that they will happily switch out using seed oils for butter or olive oil. Our server was friendly and happy to take care of our needs, as well as, the other staff. Only wish they opened up the speakeasy so we could enjoy that too!
