The food was very fresh and had a great presentation on the dish. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Bustling crowd that night. Great place for a date or a family meal. That's tough to accomplish, but they pull it off.

The service and ambiance were great, my meal not so much. I was there to celebrate a friend’s birthday and treated her to dinner, she was probably being polite by not saying anything about her meal. I’ve been before and the food was great, but our selections that evening, the pork chop and risotto, were not.

We had another great meal tonight. The pork chop is one of the best things on the menu and would have been even better if it had been cooked as ordered and not overdone. The mussels were amazing. Each one was succulent and huge and the sauce they were in was thick and rich and delicious. The heirloom tomato and burrata salad was also delicious and I loved the salmon, which was also overcooked but not as much as the pork. The wine list, while pricey had some good choices, and all in all we thought the meal was very good.

Food was very disappointing, the appetizers were decent but the rest of the food is terrible, service is also really bad, you have to wait 15 or 20 mins for the waiter to take your order and even to get a desert takes a long time. Drinks and deserts are also really bad, wouldn’t recommend it or come back.

An enjoyable evening on Tallulah’s patio. Food for the most part was very good. My lamb chops ordered medium rare came out medium well but as the meat was still tender I didn’t send them back. They do seem to have a problem in cooking meat to order - I experienced the same situation last time. Service was excellent - very attentive, professional and friendly. I appreciated the restaurants to accommodate my request to move table time earlier and seat us on the patio.

Had a great birthday dinner for my husband here! It was our first time and everything was great, food and service from waiter Cole. The burrata was was so light and refreshing, great starter. My mushroom ravioli was amazing and his filet was cooked to perfection. The lemon cake was the cherry on top. We will be back :)
