Phenomenal service and great wine selection. The appetizers are simple but extremely well presented. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the pasta is fresh and to die for.
The service at the restaurant was a bit sterile. I reserved and had the option of counter or standard seating. I selected standard. When I arrived, I was taken to a counter seat and when I said that I requested standard seating the hostess looked confused and said she’d check to see if there was a place for me (restaurant was empty at 6 pm). She left me standing at the counter seat to check. She came back and put me at a table directly behind the counter seat. My server greeted me immediately after I sat and asked about drinks. I told him I needed a minute to look. He left and took an extremely long time to return - so much so that another server asked if I had been helped. He finally shows back up and take my wine order and I told him I was also ready to order food as well. He took my order and left. It took a bit to get my glass of wine and someone else brought it. They had runners for the food so the server came back for a brief second to see if my food was ok and left. My dessert was brought by a manager who asked if I needed anything else. I ordered coffee from him. When I saw the server again, he was asking if I needed anything else and when I said no, he put my check down. I received better service from everyone else. I noticed the other server was more pleasant and even gave one of her tables macaroons after their dessert. I wanted to feel valued and appreciated and that was missing for me. I participated in Restaurant Week and enjoyed every course - there was a total of four. I will definitely go back but would not want that server again.
Nice cocktails! We went for pasta too but they only had brunch on Saturday and Sunday around 12pm instead of lunch. Friendly staff and well lite restaurant.
Laid back vibe although the booths felt smaller. Intimate atmosphere. Went there for restaurant week and loved the crusted bass. Nice service and we were well taken care of.
The service was very good. The food was amazing. We will definitely be going back for another great meal.
