9 guests & all very happy. While not inexpensive, we all ate like royalty & felt it was worth it. From king Crab legs as a shared starter ( biggest hit) to fish, veal, pasta. Incredible staff, Jerry & bartender Mladen. I’ll keep going back Wish I had remembered to take photos

Get the grilled avocado, the Wagyu short ribs and the Japanese milk bread!! You wont be disappointed. And ask for Marleina- she is so fun and a great waitress. Chef Whalen and crew have amazing dishes- you probably cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The entire staff is great and the ambiance is wonderful.

It was a fantastic meal… From the wonderful starting martinis to the by the glass Amarone to the amazing appetizers like the shrimp and the Barata to one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. The atmosphere is also fantastic and the service impeccable.

By far one of the BEST restaurants for every level of service and food. Monica took great care of us at the bar, even after she was off her shift… boxed food and gave us bread to go with my late night snack of pumpkin raviolis (with bread & more olive tapenade… yum!).
