Cocktails were unique and tasty. The pumpkin arancini were delicious, but the Korean chicken & polenta fries were just average. A bit pricy for the portion sizes. The atmosphere is cool with a live guitar player on a Wednesday night. On the other hand, it was a bit too dark to even see the food on your plate (I put on my phone flashlight to see!). There was only 1 server, and she was definitely spread thin. She was very attentive and friendly - but we felt so rushed to finish our dishes and even to leave the place (and trust me, there was nobody waiting for our table for her to rush us out). While the place has lots of potential, but there are a few things that need to be refined. I would give it a second chance.

Ambiance is great so were the drinks and appetizers — salad, Korean chicken; the entrees not so much — pasta rigatoni salty, lamb tough and over sauced, purple potatoes sound fun with the salmon but were just flavorless. The waiter was the only one on the floor so overworked and it showed. Better suited as a fancy bar with bites place imo — this type of place is missing in the area.

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Food was excellent and the live music was great. They just so happened to play our wedding song which was perfect. My husband and I had the tuna tartar and scallops as an appetizer. The scallops were over this creamy sweet corn chowder with corn salsa and croutons - it was amazing and the best scallops I’ve ever had! Tuna tartar was delicious too. My husband had the pork chops with this mustard crust and eggplant sauce and I had veal milenase with an arugula salad on top. Both were really delicious meals. The veal was huge and definitely could have split that. Even though we were so full, we still managed to get the yummy Pineapple cake and hazelnut chocolate mousse for dessert.

Extremely disappointed! Our first & last time there. 1st, we looked at the menu online before we arrived & the selections looked interesting & yummy. But when we arrived the menu was completely different & more $. Switch & bait. 2nd, most dishes had a "corn" base in them together with Fall type ingredients which did not sound cohesive or appetizing at all & it's not Fall yet! Scallops with mushy corn had absolutely NO flavor whatsoever & totally overpriced. The tuna tartar was disgusting. A huge mushy lump, with even less flavor. We each had a bite & it was a bite too much! Our cosmos were unrecognizable, just pure alcohol, low tide & no lime taste at all. We canceled the rest of our meal & couldn't wait to leave. Also, incredibly overpriced!! Don't go! Our waiter was VERY nice & totall

5/5 across the board. Other reviews said small portions for the price but I couldn’t disagree more. Super flavorful, exciting food from appetizers, dinner to dessert. Also AMAZING unique drinks. You need to end your night with the pineapple cake. Can’t wait to come back!

French Fry

Upon arrival this place was really cute and the aesthetics were nice. I was hoping the menu would have more options. The portions are really small for the price, it's a rip off. If the food was super amazing I would understand but the food was just basic; I can get better tasting food at the Cheesecake Factory for less money and more amount. The only good part was our waiter who was attentive. It was also very loud and I couldn't even hear my friend talking to me.

Disappointed, the atmosphere is pleasant but the noise level deafening. Jokingly, I suggested at the table that we may have to resort to group texting to communicate. The food was good but the menu has a limited amount of choices, special requests (cocktail sauce for shellfish) left our server shaking his head. Without desserts, coffee, or expensive wines……with gratuity, $150/person

Just had the best dinner with my wife and parents. Nicole was our server and did such a great job. Food was amazing and so were the drinks. Highly recommend the rigatoni!

I am IMPRESSED. The food was incredibly well done. We had Tuna Tartare and the temperature was perfect and tuna tasted fresh. Rigatoni was perfectly cooked and Ragú was very tasty, no skimping on beef and really well seasoned. Lobster was really good also, I loved the use of seasoning (rosemary/saffron) that a lot of restaurants do not even bother with. This food was worth the price, this is not just a pretentious place trying to gouge customers with the idea of “luxury” but rather a very well prepared meal in a fantastic atmosphere that pays attention to detail, from decor to table placements and cutlery/plates/glasses. Service was also friendly without pretense, just honestly friendly and attentive. I could not ask for more!
