Housed in a striking industrial space, the restaurant offers an ambiance that many guests find both elegant and warm, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions. While the vast majority of diners praise the attentive service, high-quality ingredients, and creative flavor profiles, opinions on the experience can vary. Some visitors feel the pricing is fully justified by the exceptional craftsmanship, while others find the portions modest or the noise level challenging. Despite occasional inconsistencies regarding seating comfort or pace of service, the restaurant continues to attract many repeat patrons who value its overall culinary execution and vibrant atmosphere.

Entrées were good, but main courses were outstanding. For the overall price though, service was not incredible (at the bar). As a couple times for the drinks, & no more water a couple times & had to ask for more multiple times too. It's fine normally, but at the price point of the place, it makes it feel overpriced.

Wow!! I loved this place. The food & service were amazing. We shared a few appetizers, the main course, dessert & wine were delicious. It has a great vibe. I highly recommend!! As an out of town guest I'm glad we had the experience to dine here.

One of our favorite restaurants to visit every year. Nails the atmosphere, great staff who are attentive, organized, & friendly without being too much. & the food is exceptional. Best risotto of my life, & fresh pasta that competes with the best.

Not worth the hype unfortunately. The staff were friendly, so no complaints there. However, the food was subpar! I was expecting more given its reputation. Also, the food took a while to come out. Finally, we had a 5 person reservation, however, they sat us at a 4 person table. We felt squished, the server even struggled serving us due to the lack of space.

Great service & very friendly staff, but the food fell short given the price. The hamachi crudo was served with the red bloodline, which gave it a metallic taste, & the sea bass had some tough bites. The halibut was fine but unremarkable. The bucatini was tasty & spicy, though at this price it would benefit from at least some protein. Overall, the execution in the kitchen needs refinement to justify the cost. I gave 3 stars only because of the excellent service.
