Impromptu dinner after the Botanical Gardens… we were lucky and scored 2 seats at the bar at 7pm. Tim was attentive, kind and friendly. Every bit of our experience was delicious and each bite was a flavorful surprise!

We tried all six pastas lol so here’s our review! Our favorites were the risotto and triangoli—super savory! Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the famous caramelized onion ravioli, but if you love French onion soup, you’ll probably enjoy it. The tagliatelle had that comforting, homemade...Read More

Truly excellent service. The meal was delicious, the staff were attentive. The salad was perfectly balanced and refreshing, the bison steak with risotto was delicious! Fun wine selection with a super helpful sommelier. Olivia was a great night out for a special occasion.
