                                    The food was excellent — everything we tried was amazing, except the cavatappi pasta which was just okay. The decor is beautiful and the ambiance is great. However, service was inconsistent, with multiple waiters attending our table and varying levels of attention. Their cocktail menu was unavailable ("between menus"), said they could do any classics but couldn't offer suggestions, which was disappointing. While the wine list is impressive, there are very few affordable options. Not everyone is willing or able to pay $150+ for a single bottle. Also, we weren't allowed to keep our wine or water bottles at the table, leading to empty glasses and delays. Finally, we ordered bread that never came, when asked they told us they were out, only to see it served to another table later. Overall, great food and atmosphere, but the service needs improvement.

                                    The food was subpar... we were served a cold pasta after waiting 20 mins. And.... I'm all for al dente... but this was undercooked. But.... what made up for the not so great food, was the staff was really nice. The beef tartar was very good out of all the things we ordered. We didn't want to make a fuss and didn't return anything, but not sure if we'd go back.

                                    We were seated in the far back and awkwardly sitting in the bar/kitchen area so we were crammed. The menu was overall nothing special and the portions were underwhelming for the price. We will definitely not go back.
