They had happy hour until 7pm for discounted drinks. We came on a Monday evening during the summer and the place was dead. Service was on point in terms of knowledge and efficiency. Appetizers: To start, we took advantage of the restaurant week wine bottle special for $35. The wine was very good and the waiter re corked the bottle to take home because we could not finish a bottle of wine. We ordered the crab cakes and Tuscan kale salad. The crab cakes were very good overall, the only comment I would say is that it was a little salty but all the components are well balanced if consumed in one bite. My friend got the Tuscan Kale Salad, which was really good, refreshing and healthy. Out of the two dishes, the kale salad was the better of the two. For the entree, we ordered the seared sea scallops and Long Island duck. The scallops was really good and the flavors were well balanced. Meanwhile my friend got the duck which was amazing and very lean. Out of the two dishes, the duck was the better of the two. That duck was to die for and personally I could see that dish become inconsistent if it was a busy night. Plus both dishes went well with the wine. The desserts were to awesome. The tartufo is amazing and with the lemon flavor and currents and walnut texture, the dish was a perfect end to my prix fixe. My friend got the chocolate mousse cake with hazelnut gelato, which was flawless. Personal note, go on a non busy night; given the restaurant's reputation I can foresee regular people like us could get ignored and getting subpar service. The night we went it was dead (10 people were dining that evening). Currently the restaurant is offering outdoor dining from Tuesday Saturday as well as delivery and curbside pick up orders.

There was a four course meal special with a glass of champagne for around $55, which was great. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. They can accommodate larger parties and has a great vibe to it.
