Pretty good! I would go back to share with my other crew. Your fresh pasta dishes are good! The lobster pappardelle is really good! I want an order to myself! haha. Your mushroom fungi trecce is good. I don't like creamy sauce but this one is good. Hard to find a good bolognese pasta, but this one is good. The hamachi is good, nice tempura element. Lobster roll is excellent!! The family loves the lamb chops!! I am not a dessert person but your sticky toffee pudding is good!!

Love coming here for girls night! It's a nice dark lighting but can also dress very casual it's the best of both worlds. To top it off food taste great! The only downside is portions can be a little small. Love ordering the steak to share and a bottle of wine. Servers are always really knowledgeable and kind! Drink are good but nothing spectacular which is why I stick to ordering a bottle of wine instead. Parking is valet only or you can drive around for a little to try and luck out. The best bet is trying to park in the alley behind the restaurant

Food was delicious but not a great place for big parties. We went with four people and the booths are super tiny. But other wise it's a pretty decent spot

It wasn't bad for a one time place. Came here the other day and got drinks and food. The service was way too slow on a Monday night. But overall for a quick night out wasn't bad. Don't know if I'll be back though.

We recently booked the private room to celebrate a retirement and had the best time. We had a set menu served family style and everything was superb. Dill Potato Chips: nice and crispy, complimented very well with the malt vinegar aioli. Highly addictive! Hamachi: the fish was very fresh and again, paired perfectly with the sprouted broccoli tempura that came with it. Crispy Spring Rolls: nicely fried, and not too greasy. Delicious! Charred Brussels Sprouts: just wow. One of our guests said they don't usually like Brussels sprouts, but went in for seconds here. So flavorful, but the pecorino romano just put them over the top. Spicy Korean Chicken Wings: again, compliments to the chef on frying these to perfection. The cucumber kimchi gave it a nice Asian twist and it wasn't too spicy as to scare of anybody in our party. Meatballs: the texture was perfect. Not too mushy or over-filled with fillers like some other places. And that sauce! Cavatelli: the pasta was cooked to perfection--Al dente in a nice creamy, pecorino-laced sauce. Charred Skirt Steak: cooked medium rare with a nice char and accompanied by some onion rings. More of that please! Churros: nice and crispy with a nice soft center--yum! Housemade Ice Cream: we had Nutella, thin mint and vanilla. All so good! Our server Christian was also the best. Super friendly and very attentive. He made sure we felt special and taken care of. Can't really ask for more that that! Best of all, our guest of honor loved everything about the whole evening. From the cozy private room, to the excellent food and service, it all made for a memorable evening. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes!

This is such a 'oh gosh I wish it worked out.' The service at the bar is perfect, the tables ok (it's not perfect but I wouldn't say it's bad). The drinks regardless of where you sit are incredible (wine/beer/liquor/mixed drinks). But the food? As a home cook I'm just like 'why do these recipes SUCK?' The menu isn't bad, it just REALLY needs to be tweaked.

We were served by Cassie, who was wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is pretty typical for a nighttime place in this area (i.e., dark) but nice. Additionally, the food was incredible. All three of us ordered something different and shared.

Food was amazing. Ambiance was so nice. Fast service with quality and variety of food. Penne pasta was out of this world. Will definitely be back!!

Great food, wine, and drink selection. I've never had a waiter or bartender that was not friendly & knowledgeable of the products. I do find it a little pricey, the place can get to loud for my tastes. The staff has the tendency to leave the front door open no matter weather which can make it a bit cold and drafty on the inside on those brisk nights.

Some of the best food that I've had and amazing service. Ally was our server and was amazing. Personable, and chill vibes with great food and decent pricing. Get the pickle chips!

Came here for date night last weekend. Small, pricey portions and the service was really slow on drinks. The whiskey cocktails are fantastic, the espresso martini was just okay. We split several dishes and were both agreed the meatballs were the best. Worth a visit but not out of this world

Def a cute place to go for drinks and little snacks, the place has a super cute intimate ambiance and even some cozy outdoor seating but prob wouldn't go super hungry. Portions are small and a little on the pricier side. We got the quail deviled eggs which were delicious but tiny, as quail eggs are lol. The mussels I felt were ok, but the star of the night was def the meatballs. They were so tender and juicy and the sauce was delicious with the bread. Overall cute intimate spot and service was on point.

Great food. Better drinks! It's been a long time since my last visit, and it's very much worth the trip. The bartenders are exceptionally friendly and provide excellent service. Drinks are creative and well made.
