The tasting menu was absolutely fantastic. I was thoroughly impressed not only with the quality and flavor profiles of the menu, but also the wine pairing and unique dishes that were created by the wonderful Chef. The service was also impeccable, a rarity in recent years regardless of how high end the restaurant has been. Kudos! We will be back.

Excellent dinner pre-show @ Bushnell tonight. The staff was dressed up in Mama Mia theme and looked fantastic! The food was excellent & service fast, friendly & helpful. Four of us each had different pasta dishes and they were all delicious. Would definitely return & highly recommend.

Love the old world charm of this restaurant. Portions are good as well as food quality. Reservations are a must as the restaurant is small which I prefer.

    Excellent food and service! We had tickets for the Bushnell and the staff made sure to accommodate our need to be able to get to the show on time. Food was great, I had the special salad (with cactus fruit, persimmon, mandarin oranges and Tahitian vanilla bean vinagrette - it was delicious! We also split the veal & ricotta meatballs, which were very good. I had the Potato gnocchi bolognese and my partner had the orange and sage butter ravioli. Both meals were excellent. The bread pudding dessert was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy, but service did not seem rushed. Highly recommend!
