Chestnut & celery root purée soup was creamy and tasty, a real winner, and loved the toasted meat on top! Went for the mussels in white wine cream sauce for dinner—perfect size and super delicious with the shoestring fries on top. And the canoli with caramelized banana??? Easily one of the best I've ever had. Definitely coming back for more. Loved the vibe of the place too! Nice work y’all!“
