    First time and definitely won’t be the last time. Used to live close by so we don’t travel in the hood allot but that’s going to change. Lovely atmosphere. Service is truly spot on. Great Caesar salad. Enough to share. I typically don’t order risotto cause it gets boring but their rice is anything but…shrimp. Mushrooms. Crispy leeks and butternut squash - one note? The squash should be caramelized. Cannot wait to go back and try more dishes. Excited
