We stopped in before a showing at the Civic Center. I had a reservation and we were seated right away A nice dining room. A more lovely bar feel but still intimate seating. The server took our order in a timely fashion and checked in on us regularly. The food was delicious! The goat cheese was missing from the Brussels but otherwise everything we had was great. A word to the non adventurous, the spice is spicy. I’m glad we came here and will do so again!

This place just keeps getting better & better! They may have had a rocky start (my opinion), but they’re firing on all cylinders now! The food last night was delicious - each course - & we shared, so we each got to taste 2 items of each course. Salads, main & dessert - all scrumptious. As was the delicious bread w caponata. Heavenly.

What a find. The food was delicious, cocktails and wine perfect, but the best part of the evening was our server, Bella, whose recommendations were exceptional Even more than that she brought us joy and made us feel like family. Thank you Bella!

The restaurant was the perfect spot for Mother’s Day! My Wife and I enjoyed every bit of it. The service was wonderful. The food was great and it was a perfect day outside to be outside! We love the garden atmosphere of the patio area. We definitely will be coming back! Thank you so much!
