Claire was our waitress and she did an exceptional job of making our evening out so enjoyable. Sophia Loren was a delicious cocktail. Highly recommend.

I believe our servers name was Sarah, she was great and gave us excellent recommendations! Food and desserts were fantastic. The chicken Milanese with rigatoni vodka was amazing!

I was looking forward to trying this place. It was not as good as I had imagined. They had changed the entire menu from what was posted online. The atmosphere was plain. The food, in my opinion, was not worthy of the prices they charge. $32 for a piece of salmon with veggies and no starch was crazy. The asparagus was not even trimmed properly. Spinach ravioli was very one-note. Flourless chocolate cake was just ok. Overall, I was not impressed.

Brandi is hands down the best server at this restaurant. A true professional. This is coming from someone who personally knows the whole staff.
