    This spot is slowly becoming one of our favorite small plates destinations. While the menu isn't huge, there's a great variety of flavorful dishes. Get the beef tartare, burrata, & ricotta dumplings.

    Overpriced and pretentious. Portions are small. Crowded as hell. Don't be fooled and go somewhere else.

    A bit too noisy for dinner and the food was a bit over salted. Enjoyed the burrata.

    DO NOT believe the hype! Music was blaring loud! The dishes were all underwhelming & obscenely priced for a small plate. The pork was literally $32 it had maybe 2 oz. of random cut up pieces of pork.
