Reviews
Our server Max was polite and friendly. The food was very good .
We were not rushed even when I ran into friends and they joined our table. Worth the visit !
If you’re ordering the squash soup or any of the pastas, the focaccia is a MUST to be able to dip in the soup or scoop up the rest of the delicious sauces left on the plate.
The grilled octopus was tender and delicious, and the saffron risotto felt like a warm hug. The cocktail I had was bright and bubbly and refreshing. The service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly.
(Favorite) House Baked Foccacia – whipped Ricotta, Market conserva, olive relish
(Delicious) Koginut Squash Bisque – lobster, pumpkin seeds, crème fraiche
(Tasty) Long Island Duck Lettuce Wraps – basil, spiced sunflower seed crunch
(Well prepared, mild flavor) Grilled Octopus – tomatoes, capers, achieves, Herbs
(Super tasty) Roasted Duet of Colorado Lamb – rack and shoulder, Willoughby, cheesy potatoes, buckwheat greens
(Tasty, not overly seasoned) Seasonal Mushrooms – sesame, chives, miso mustard
(Lleast favorite, super salty) Local Pork and Beef Ragu – NJ Tomatoes, 2year parmesan, mafaldine
The Gulf Shrimp pasta and rotisserie chicken (lunch portion pictured) are excellent and not too heavy. For appetizers, I thought both the duck lettuce wraps and the fried pickled green tomatoes were very good. The duck and tomatoes themselves tasted great and they went well with the lettuce they were served with. I had mixed feelings about the sauces each dish came with but the flavors are bold so I can see others enjoying them.
Scallops and tuna (appetizer) tasted very good.
The only dish I’ve had that I didn’t like was the focaccia lunch appetizer. It came with a variety of toppings that didn’t really work together. The bread itself was very good once I scraped the toppings off and I think it would be better if they were served on the side. Desserts are very good as well.
Portion sizes for everything leans on the smaller side but the quality of ingredients makes it worthwhile in my opinion.
The service has always been good, but comparing my most recent visit to the ones shortly after they opened it’s clear they’ve gotten even better.
Would recommend a reservation as they’re always busy. However, as a solo diner, I’ve always been able to walk in and get one of their counter seats.
Every dish was unique, well balanced, and full of amazing flavor. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the duck had very interesting flavor combinations. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the food. Our server never introduced himself, didn’t offer recommendations, and failed to check in after food and drinks were delivered. There were no water refills, no plate clearing, and we had to flag someone down multiple times, for dessert and eventually for the check.
For context, this was a Friday night with empty tables nearby, so it didn’t feel like a staffing issue. The manager did speak with me after I shared my concerns and was receptive and apologetic, which I appreciated. I would consider returning, but at this price point and level of dining, I expect at least attentive, basic service.
