This is a great place for locals to hang out. They not only have great food but the service is phenomenal. It can be a little pricey - we spent $140.00 for two people without alcohol. I think it is worth it.

Eh, the food quality is nice but it leaves more to be desired quantity wise. If you don't drink a lot of drinks (alcoholic or not), there's a very high chance you'll leave feeling hungry still. I've gone multiple times here before and have left to eat a snack at one of the many other restaurants on the street. Service was excellent and the food wasn't bad, just that I wish it was more filling.

Every single time I’ve been here the experience, the food, vibe and service have been top notch. Best bites were the tortillini, beef cheek and the squash. The wine pairing is a must, we split ours. My number one restaurant!

We had a fabulous dinner experience. Everything we ordered was delicious - scallops, beets, croquettes, gnochi and fish of the day. Nate was great at providing recommendations and pacing the food items. We look forward to returning soon.
