He was kind, helpful and attentive, and passionate about the offerings. Food menu was quite small and for someone with a gluten allergy this probably isn’t the best choice of restaurants. Our apps were delicious but the pasta Gabe ordered (Cavatelli Ragu) seemed a bit undercooked and not as flavorful as he would have liked, and my pork dish, while tasty, was very salty. Overall not a bad experience but we weren’t convinced that we should come back.

Tables are still very siloed to 1 server or another, so despite a relatively high guaranteed gratuity you don’t get great service. Service also fell off once we had our meals, it was hard to get a drink refill, dessert, or the check. Food is incredibly delicious and creative, we love the rotating menus. Some items can be poor value though, for example $6 for a single small oyster. Could also use more variety when it comes to sides and non pasta dishes. I’d love to order some veggies with my pasta.

Start with a delicious cocktail and save room for dessert because the pastry chef is incredible.
