    The burrata was very good; although, it's hard to mess that up. Lamb ragu was good not great

    Wine charged by how many quarters you drink of a bottle. Amazing. Food is really good, the gnocchi special is almost always delish.

    Order one of the berry infused lemonades. They're refreshing and will last longer because of the tartiness:)

    Would not recommend. Made us wait at the hot bar for 25 min saying there were no tables. Then brought us to a back room which had ac and tons of empty tables and already in use with people eating.

    Absolutely appalled by their lack of service and caring. Had reservations for a large party at 10pm, kept us waiting until 11pm and did not even apologize or attempt to compensate. Very rude staff.

    As an avid bourbon drinker; skip the old fashion. Tastes like cherry soda with some bitters and 2 lemon wedges...? Big disappointment.
