    Beautiful restaurant in a convenient location in downtown. The private inner courtyard was charming and shaded. Although the food was very good, the gluten free crab penne was such a tiny portion compared to the regular crab pasta we had to ask for more! And they kindly obliged at no extra charge! There was an obvious difference to everyone at the table. We enjoyed the grilled asparagus, the olives, the Jidori Chicken, the Lamb Ragu Pappardelle, the meatballs, and the rapini. Unfortunately the last 2 items were forgotten and we had to remind the server about them. We waited probably 30 minutes to get our entrees. I will go back again and give them another try for sure, the server was very pleasant and cocktails innovative and delicious.

    Creative food, served by an extraordinary staff. We we're in on a busy spring release weekend and pace was great and the service team couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful. Another reason to love Walla Walla.

    This is my second visit. Much better than the first. Pasta is the special, so that’s been our focus. It’s good. We were not that hungry, so just ordered wine, olives and pastas. All good. Very personable wait person, but when asked for more cheese, the request was forgotten. The reminder worked. When asked for more wine, mid dinner, again, forgotten. So I got up and asked someone else for the refill. It was brought to the table, but no mention of timing. Then when checking the bill, we were competed, thank you, but again, no mention. Very curious. Again, very pleasant and personable wait staff, so quite curious. Good atmosphere and food. Definitely a place we’ll return to.
