Immaculate experience, great food and wonderful service. My husband opted for the tasting menu - the food selection was amazing and the portion was really big unlike many other places and I had pork chop which was delicious aswell. We’re definitely going back soon.

Absolutely amazing experience!
I foolishly made an outdoor seating reservation. The staff called to inform me ahead of time that my reservation was for outside which is obviously not ideal for this time of year. When I arrived at the restaurant I found out that they had reserved two seats for us at the bar top so we could sit inside. I really appreciated this level of hospitality. We had an amazing dinner and I will definitely be back in the future. Thank you so much!

A real letdown. Womp womp. Not at all worth it. Dropped $750 on one bummer of a group dinner — every starter sucked save the gem lettuce salad — mains were gross. Salty or tasteless take your pick. Server was a downer riding an auto grat — zero help, zero personality. Now I know why it was too easy to get a res for 7 o’clock on a Saturday.

Fantastic meal especially with a large group. I appreciated our waiter's honesty on how best to order. My favorite was the black cod

We had dinner in their private banquet space. The food was delicious. Even though we had a fixed menu for the group, they met the needs of individuals well. The service was good. And the space was comfortable.

Had the best meal here this evening! Chef Ricky really pulled out all the stops, beautiful plating and perfect cook on my protein as well. Thanks also to the bartender Owen who provided several great recommendations based on what I ordered to eat.

My sister took me here for my birthday celebration. She got us the tasting menu. It's such a unique dining experience! Absolutely delicious food, amazing service and staff. Go with an open mind and curiosity, ready to be amazed at what they're creating! Note: their bathroom is in a pretty hard to get to place. So if you have accessibility issues, call ahead and inquire about that.

Very good food. Burrata was weirdly half size for happy hour price of $16. Gratuity is automatically 22%
We go every year to celebrate our anniversary and birthday. The last two visits were great, so we made it a tradition. Unfortunately, our experience yesterday was disappointing.
The salmon was underseasoned and came in very small portions — less than a few grams. The carrots weren’t fully cooked, the clam pasta was dry and tasted like plain spaghetti, and both the steaks and the Pochito lacked flavor and uniqueness.
For the price, the quality just wasn’t there. Overall, it didn’t meet our expectations — especially since we’ve had excellent experiences at this location and others in the past.
We ended up spending $330, and unfortunately, it just wasn’t worth it.

This has become one of our absolute favorite places for great pasta, there might be a few nonnas somewhere whispering their long-held secrets because the dishes are phenomenal and ones I would come back for. We had a proscuitto app twice, and the smoked fish bruschetta and they were excellent. Great cocktails too, all served up and with minimal but excellent ingredients which in my book is a gold star.
