Super nice hard working staff and everything we ordered was so flavorful. We have a new favorite spot now
Amazing pasta options. Octopus app was outstanding. Service was a little rushed. Arrived at 7:02. Wine poured at 7:10. App served at 7:20. Entrees served at 7:30 - out the door at 7;50. All that said, food was outstanding.
Food was excellent! Waiter was phenomenal!!!
