Our server was very prompt yet not in our faces, so it was a relaxing meal. The oyster romesco was phenomenal!! We wish that we had known that the chicken dish was fried. It's not on the menu, nor did the server mention it. The Marsala pork cheek was AMAZING! I miss the polenta that used to be served with it. I find the angel hair pasta a poor substitute. Overall, it was a wonderful meal with a great atmosphere!

The food TASTED awesome, I ordered the veal Marsala and was unable to chew or swallow the veal due to tough grisly texture. It was a luncheon that I was being treated so I did not complain. Instead I ate the topping (wonderful with lots of mushrooms) and acted as though I was full Service was amazing, we loved him abs he took very good care of our table
