    The whole experience was great! Front staff was amazing and very knowledgeable! We got a few appetizers and enjoyed them all. I am gluten free and they had many options for me. Service was incredible.

    Attractive space with top-notch cuisine and an extensive wine list, including numerous choices at $75 or less. Relatively quiet by today’s standards so that conversation at the table wasn’t difficult. Innovative cuisine.

    the poached shrimp salad is phenom! There is a half size and full size. Half is great if you are also getting a meal. The Veal Parm is like no other - HUGE piece of veal with the bone - tastes amazing. The drink with rosemary (I think the Verone?) was amazing! Def get the meatballs for appetizer - they are amazing and so is the sauce. Just a wonderful atmosphere with great food and service! The desserts are also amazing - the lemonicello cheesecake; the creme brulee was fantastic and the gelato refreshing.

    We had a problem with one meal that was woefully undercooked which ruined the entire meal for our party.
