"Wow wow wow from the moment I walked in I just felt really really an awful by the way the place felt the openness and the warm welcome from the entire staff. I met the executive chef Jackie and Patricia who was one of the managers was amazing. Every appetizer we had as well as our main tray, which was the Bronzino was excellent. Three desserts were also not huge, but just enough to be fabulous. But also unexpectedly the brood concoctions made from all sorts of various pair infused ingredients were amazing amazing amazing."

"The food was very good and the place was very beautiful! The service we received was one of the best we’ve ever had. My wife and I loved our experience through and through. The staff were all very kind and enthusiastic about their work and the asian girl, I think her name is Sasha, who brought our food was especially memorable with how quick she was with her work. We will be back again."

"Maybe it's because I had high expectations walking into this place. A long wait to get reservations for the dining room, etc. Don't get me wrong the meal was good, but it didn't blow me away. Small portions for the price. Solid presentation and flavors but they didn't make me say "wow!" Great atmosphere though and definitely worth a visit."

"Went for a nice lunch on the spur of the moment with my husband. Our server Max was polite and friendly. The food was very good . We were not rushed even when I ran into friends and they joined our table. Worth the visit !"

"I've visited 3 times now, once for lunch and twice for dinner. The Gulf Shrimp pasta and rotisserie chicken (lunch portion pictured) are excellent and not too heavy. For appetizers, I thought both the duck lettuce wraps and the fried pickled green tomatoes were very good. The duck and tomatoes themselves tasted great and they went well with the lettuce they were served with. I had mixed feelings about the sauces each dish came with but the flavors are bold so I can see others enjoying them. Scallops and tuna (appetizer) tasted very good. The only dish I've had that I didn't like was the focaccia lunch appetizer. It came with a variety of toppings that didn't really work together. The bread itself was very good once I scraped the toppings off and I think it would be better if they were served on the side. Desserts are very good as well. Portion sizes for everything leans on the smaller side but the quality of ingredients makes it worthwhile in my opinion. The service has always been good, but comparing my most recent visit to the ones shortly after they opened it's clear they've gotten even better. Would recommend a reservation as they're always busy. However, as a solo diner, I've always been able to walk in and get one of their counter seats."

"Love everything about this restaurant - the food, the vibe, the decor, and the impeccable service. The mouthwatering aromas eminating from the open kitchen pull you in as soon as you walk in the door. Service is super relaxed and attentive. Start with the focaccio with whipped ricotta, and add prosciutto and chunks of parmesan cheese. The tuna tartarre is delicious, too. The duck entree had crispy skin, served over squash puree with duck confit and diced vegetables served crispy on the outside. Seven layer chocolate cake with fresh whipped cream is perfect for sharing. All fantastic!"

"The food and ambience are excellent. The first time I came when they first opened, they had sold out of the focaccia. I was so excited to finally be able to try it and I can confirm, it’s worth the hype. If you’re ordering the squash soup or any of the pastas, the focaccia is a MUST to be able to dip in the soup or scoop up the rest of the delicious sauces left on the plate. The grilled octopus was tender and delicious, and the saffron risotto felt like a warm hug. The cocktail I had was bright and bubbly and refreshing. The service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly."
