Best fine dining in all of Traverse City. The other Italian place at the Village doesn't even come close. Don't miss the sea bass! And if you enjoy cocktails, the espresso martini is to die for.

Wonderfully attentive to their guests. Widely knowledgab staff. Fabulous bar. Great service is hard to find except here! And the food...oh the food...its marvelous.

I wanted so bad to enjoy this experience...But couldn't. We waited over an hour for our food, and to be honest, it wasn't worth the wait. Both our entrees were from the pasta section. We were starving by the time it came and decide not to say anything. We were patient with our server, but there were times she walked past us and not look at or us or say anything to check in. Including the most important, how's your dinner check in? We waited almost half an hour just for our check, sitting there with nothing but water. It was a busy Friday evening, so take it or leave it. Maybe next time we will give em another shot, but this one wasn't a great impression. However, I will say the small plates and cocktails at Ballero adjoining the restaurant was excellent!

Wonderful and different food, cheerful and attentive wait staff,and interesting story behind the building and complex make this a great dining experience.

Don't trust the online menu to give a true reflection of the chefs wizardry or the pricing.

All in all, my highest compliment, can't wait to go back.
