Totally enjoyed dinner with my mom last night. As much as I wanted to give a perfect rating, I must say that the inside of the resto can get very, very loud. It was somewhat difficult to have a conversation without asking them to repeat what they were saying. Regardless of that, the service was decent and the food is AMAZING. At first, my mom and I thought the pasta serving was too tiny but we got full eventually and left the place with happy bellies.

We had an absolutely incredible time here. The food was great, you could taste the rich flavors and freshness. It has a great ambience and the staff really made the whole experience amazing. Chelsea went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us choose our food and drink. She made it feel like we were at a friends house learning about new dishes. I highly recommend this place and I will return soon.

Good foodie place. Sort of a refreshing take on American Italian. But also sort of a Californian restaurant. The food is rich and interesting, but sometimes with dishes like this I get a "flavor fatigue" and need to drink a lot of water to reset. I REALLY liked the shaved brussel sprouts. They were so much better than a traditional salad
