It is a neighborhood gem. Great people, especially Oliver the amazing host who knows the locals. Tuesday is a great night to enjoy create your own pasta dish and tasty wine. A recommendation is to enjoy the savory beet salad and dessert can’t go wrong with the tiramisu.

Our server Kevin provided excellent service. It’s a beautiful restaurant for an evening dinner. We heard live music from the nearby bar which was nice. We had the Greek freak tuna and spicy lobster ravioli with Brussels sprouts. Generous serving sizes and nice presentation at the table. Overall we had a great experience.
