    Everything was wonderful! We got stuck in traffic and the hostess was able to modify our reservation. The app had said the dining room wasn't available but I made a note that we would prefer it if possible. When we arrived we were seated in the main dining room. They have an extensive cocktail and mocktail menu and of course a huge wine list. I dont drink so I ordered a Non-alcoholic espresso martini, so good! We told our server that we had to be out by a certain time to make a show. With his help we were able to have 3 courses and be done, with 5 minutes to spare. Timing was excellent! Of course the food was amazing as well. We had the tuna and carpaccio appetizers, followed by the truffle pasta and bronzino. Our server, Nicholas, brought us a complementary dessert of bread pudding. We could not have asked for a more perfect meal. Thank you to Nicholas, Andres, and the rest of the staff for showing us a good time!

    Our receptionist kindly seated us away from an area where a large table was expected. The menu is very diverse and interesting. The gumbo was savory and authentic. I really enjoyed the branzino that reminded me of the seaside restaurants in Croatia.The limoncello cheesecake was outstanding. We also shared a pizza that was crispy and delicious. Our server Julian was personable and efficient. I will be returning for the shrimp and grits sometime soon.
