Came here to celebrate my birthday and it was great! The atmosphere is very nice inside, it’s intimate, and cozy. There is a live kitchen so can see the food being prepped. The service was great as well, David was awesome and made us feel super well taken care of! And lastly, the food was amazing. Everyone was happy with their food and the short rib pappardelle was so good.

Decided to have a last minute night out with the girls and I’m so thankful I ended up here! The food was delicious and the bartender David, was so attentive. Thanks for a great night!
