Our waiters shifted throughout so it was a bit confusing, which resulted in our coffee to go being forgotten, even after paying our tab. We enjoyed the food but felt crammed into a corner table by the bar and the staff. It was a Tuesday night at 5:15, so there were a few other tables available. We liked the burrata but felt it could’ve been paired with crostinis or some kind of bread.

I usually love the spicy vodka pasta here. Haven’t been in 6+ months and it wasn’t as good as I remember it.

Staff were rude at the front. Told our adult daughter to wait for all four to arrive when we had three there and had a booking. Were dismissive and rude when we arrrived. The weee like two self entitled millennials. Who do they think they are. Then they took away three of our plates while my husband was still eating. Clearly wanted to flip the table and hurry us out. Really terrible manners. A huge disrespect. Can you let us know you have spoken to the front two girls about there rudeness.
