    Lots of available seating for a Friday night. There were only a few tables occupied. They sat everyone right next to each other, which is kind of annoying. They filled our water glasses immediately and kept them filled throughout our meal. They brought a basket of bread right away. They had three different breads, all were really yummy. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi. It was very good, maybe could have used a little more seasoning, but the portion size was SO SMALL. It's a good thing I filled up on bread. For a $20 plate of food, I think I should have received more. My husband ordered the ribeye and my sister ordered the salmon. Their portion was triple the size of my meal. They couldn't even finish their plates. Overall, the food was good and the service was good, but I'm not in a hurry to go back.

    Excellent Sunday brunch with loads of wonderful breakfast and brunch options. We were celebrating my birthday and everything was great. A bit pricey as an every day restaurant but wonderful for special occasions!

    The food was good but the service was terrible. I guess I would suggest to not sit outside. Although other tables seemed to get served. We had a different waiter and I think he came to the table 3 times in the almost 2 hours we were there. Two of those times he came because we asked another staff member to find him. Really disappointing service given the price.

    Great food. Wish the restaurant had a dress code. Short short cutoff jeans not appropriate.

    Was there for Sunday brunch . Nice little jazz trio added to the ambience, with an amazing food selection. Plan on allowing at least 90 minutes to enjoy the brunch. Staff were all engaged in making sure service was excellent.
