    From the beginning to the very end of our dining experience, our server Samuel made sure we were completely taken care of. For context, I’m a wedding planner visiting the venue for the first time, so my boyfriend and I came to dine and also familiarize ourselves with the space. I had a floor plan and contract with me, and Samuel noticed them and asked if we were planning an event. From that moment on, he went above and beyond, answering every question we had and making us feel incredibly welcome. To start, we ordered the Focaccia and Schoolyard Bread, both of which were delicious. Samuel also brought us olives that were incredibly flavorful and a wonderful addition to the meal. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu Bavette. While it was a little more rare than he typically prefers, he said it was so flavorful and well-prepared that he thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the House Tagliatelle, which was absolutely delicious as well. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying dessert! I ordered the Ice Cream Sundae and my boyfriend had the Affogato—both were the perfect ending to an amazing meal. After dinner, I asked Samuel if it would be possible to take a look around the venue. Not only did he happily say yes, but he made a point to find us later and personally show us the upstairs area where my bride and her family can spend time before the ceremony. He walked us through the space, answered additional questions, and shared helpful insights along the way. I made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we appreciated Samuel’s attentiveness, professionalism, and generosity with his time. I even requested that he work on my client’s wedding day because I know we’ll be in excellent hands. The food was fantastic, the venue is beautiful, and the service was truly exceptional. Thank you, Samuel, for making our visit so memorable! ✨

    Loved all the flavors we experienced in the 5 course tasting menu. I came for the Uni Creme Brule' and it did not disappoint! Everyone was friendly, accomodating and helpful. There were just two of us but I watched as servers made sure to deliver all the dishes to larger tables all at once and provide a great level of service with plates being cleared and flatware and glasses being changed with every course so it was an elevated level of service. I felt that in the middle of our meal service dropped off with the wrong pasta dish being served to one of us and so if I didn't want my dish to be cold I had to eat alone and then my companion had to do the same thing 5-10 minutes later when his dish finally came. There were some longer than comfortable waits in the middle of the meal and then things picked up again. The server comped us a glass of wine to ease the discomfort! All in all we enjoyed our meal and would return.

    Hands down the best experience we've ever had at any restaurant! Everyone was so accommodating, explained the food, and was so considerate and courteous. I have never tasted such a combination of flavors, and when we go back, I may just order all of the sides because they were my favorite part! The steak was amazing, but I expected that. I was not prepared for side dishes that kept us discussing which flavors we ghouth we detected. This is a place we will never stop talking about!
