We went here for restaurant week, but since I am gluten free and my friend is vegan, we decided to order off of the regular menu which looked great. I had the carpaccio and the beet salad with the dressing on the side. The carpaccio was sliced so wonderfully thin, it was very tasty, but unfortunately it was way too overdressed with olive oil which spoiled the arugula and avocado and would have been better without it. Next time I would ask for the oil on the side. The beet salad was wonderful, it was plated beautifully and didn't even need the dressing. I used a small but of balsamic vinegar on it and it was perfect. For drinks, i had the limoncello margarita. It was very tasty, a bit too sweet, I would have preferred more lime and a little salt, but that didn't stop me from drinking the entire glass and wanting more. my dinner companion enjoyed the vegan bruschetta and penne with sausage and peppers. He was a bit disappointed that the peppers were not what was advertised in the menu and said it was more of the vegan hamburger crumbles. I will go back again and experience a few more items plus the carpaccio with no oil. The service was fantastic, they were very attentive and helpful.

Loved the service. We dined on a Tuesday night so the service and quiet ambience was great. Not sure how it would be when it's a Friday or Saturday night. All in all, the food was great as well as the service.
