Such a fun girl’s night out. My friend and I indulged in so many tasty gluten-free goodies. Our server Joe was an absolute sweetheart. Rock on, Joe!

Food was very rich & covered in a lot of heavy sauces, dressing, etc. You couldn’t even taste the squash in the appetizer because of all the sauces and tempura over powering it. We had hoped for lighter, healthier options

This place is probably one of the easiest to get a reservation at and that always surprises me. Every time I go there, I get an excellent meal. The menu changes and their specials are always excellent.

Brussel Sprouts were burned completely. I would expect a place like this to have some quality control.

We had a room for our party of 10 and Bogden our waiter was excellent! He worked to accommodate one of our party who had specific food requirements. We had many choices from the menu That were very tasty, the branzino was a big hit as was the spring papardelle.
