Overall this was a mixed bag for us. On the definite positives, the place is beautiful & inviting. We also had fantastic service from our waitress, who explained the day's specials in detail & checked on us many times during our meal. Food wise though, some dishes were good (the tartare special with Calabrese "caviar") or great like the short rib with chasseur sauce, absolutely delicious. But others were bad & felt like they came from a different restaurant. The brassicas Caesar salad was dry & needed more dressing, but the real disappointment was their putanesca dish with freshly made noodles. It was mushy, very bland, tasted mostly like salt & parsley & lacked the punch a putanesca should have. The dessert was also so so (a pain perdu that really isn't a pain perdu). We live nearby so we'll definitely give the restaurant another try in the future & some of their dishes were definitely worth the visit.View more
This place is a hidden gem. Had the Tasting menu, it was absolutley amazing, locally sourced great quality ingredients transformed into tasty dishes. Josh was welcoming & his descriptions of the plates made your mouth water!View more
My spouse & I had the most delightful dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly & seated promptly. Our waiter, who turned out to be the one of 3 chef owner, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu & took the time to explain almost every ingredient in the dishes we chose. We were impressed to learn that many of the ingredients were sourced from the restaurant's own garden, adding a special touch to our meal. The food itself was simply outstanding. The fresh homemade pasta melted in our mouths, & the bass that I ordered was cooked to perfection. Each dish was beautifully presented & bursting with flavor. It was clear that a lot of care & attention had gone into preparing our meals. Overall, we left the restaurant feeling satisfied & eager to return for another culinary adventure. We can't wait to sample more of the menu offerings next time & see what other delicious creations the chef has in store for us. This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations, & we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.View more
Flavourful & creative dishes executed to perfection. The service was prompt & attentive as well as warm & welcoming. 10/10 would recommend!View more
The chef knows what he's doing. Excellent ingredients, simple but creative & well-executed dishes (the fish!) of Italian inspiration. Regards to the staff who are attentive but not fussy. I would have taken off half a star for the choice of wines by the glass, they were a little disappointing.View more
