The beef tartare was the star of our meal. The pastas were also very good & the service was the best we've had in a long time.

We took the tasting menu, & it was so good! Everything was well seasoned & well balanced. You can tell they put a lot of attention on what they cook. The portions were generous, especially considering it was a tasting menu. We started the night saying we were gonna take pictures of all the food but it was so good we forgot to take pictures of most of it. We definitely will be back
