Our waitress was very nice, they have you order all of your food at the beginning and then course out the meal. The food came in a reasonable amount of time and was properly coursed. The sommelier was really the most help though, he was friendly and helped us find the exact wine we wanted. The food was all delicious but I highly recommend getting the heirloom tomato salad and the focaccia and eating them together. I would genuinely go back and just eat that.
