Our server was courteous. My sangria was nauseating - too sweet and after a few sips reminded me of Robitussin. The lobster bisque was a lobster flavored cream broth with absolutely no substance - was more like cream of mushroom soup without the mushrooms. My chicken piccata and sides were good but not exceptional and my partner’s swordfish had a very sweet sauce not to our liking. The restaurant is attractive, but we were disappointed with the food - the 4.6 review and the photos of the food led us to expect a high quality dining experience. Sorry to say that we are not planning on returning.

I wanted this restaurant to be great, but was disappointed. Decor was tacky and the food relied heavily on cream sauces and butter, instead of the flavors of the food, and the prices were high for the mediocre quality of the actual food. The service was great though. This is a place I'd visit again for a drink and maybe an appetizer, not dinner.

Patron since opening. Food is consistently perfect. Always professional on phone & site. Servers/staff are all beautiful, competent, clean, speak clearly and know the menu. Fantastic full bar with signature drinks. A small, modern local favorite with a nice outdoor dining patio as well. Make a reservation online. Very easy. 👋🏼👋🏼 They also upgraded their dining chairs. Such an awesome upgrade to these padded, soft, high-winged back char with arm rests. -Something your grandma or aunt had. Very good decision to Angelo Mazzone's person on this job. See ya in August.

Appetizers are very good, however the entrees need some work. The scallops were done well, but the swordfish was overcooked and badly is in need of a sauce to work some acid into the dish. Next time we'll stick with the apps and call it a night.

We were impressed from the moment we walked in when the hostess said “Happy Birthday” to when she said “Happy Birthday” again when we left. Very attentive waiter, excellent service. We had the Brussel Sprouts appetizer- delicious. We all loved our entrees. They were out of the Lasagna Dessert, so we shared the yummy cheesecake. We will be back!!
