Description

Tucked in Fremont, this intimate restaurant pairs inventive small plates, pizzas, steaks and seafood with a robust beer and wine selection. Dim lighting, cozy booths and attentive, owner-involved service create a memorable atmosphere ideal for date nights, family dinners and celebrations. Portions are generous and flavors consistently impressive; desserts are highly recommended. Prices run a bit high, but the polished service, welcoming vibe and standout food make it worth a return visit.

The outdoor seats are very comfortable. The waiters are nice. But they checked with us about the food and drink a little too frequently….?We ordered pappardelle with mushroom, linguine, and scallops sauce baguette. At beginning, I felt the food are very delicious. But the cream and cheese are a little greasy in the end, and I barely finished all food.

The overall experience at this location was outstanding, from the ambiance to the exceptional service. All of the dishes served were enjoyed and impressed with their enticing aroma, attractive presentation, and delightful flavors. Although the prices are somewhat steep, it's still a great spot for dinner.Food: 5/5

Food was AMAZING. I'm not typically impressed with restaurants in this price range but this was amazing. The meal was about 40 45 per person. We got three mains and a drink to share. Though the portion sizes weren't huge to make you very full, it's enough to make you healthy full.Service 10/10. Honestly the best service I've gotten a while. So patient and friendly. Regularly checked in on us and gave great recs!!Ambiance was out of this world. Great catch up night with the girls, but also could be a wonderful date spot. Might not be relevant but even their bathroom had great vibes had chai candles lit and it was wonderful.Will definitely come back again and again.

Perfect date night spot. Cozy and intimate. From the music to the decor, everything feels pleasantly sensual. Greeted by the owner himself. Warm and welcoming even though we were a bit late to our reservation. Try and snag a spot in one of the cute booths. Foods superb. Diverse selection with a unique twist in every dish. Pappardelle was the winner for us. Also, DO NOT SKIP ON DESSERT. The pear bread pudding was fantastic! Sweet, savory, toasted, chilled and caramelized. Unfortunately, no pictures to show. Dim lighting and an iPhone 13 don't create very glamorous food pics. Speaking of which, I'm in amazement by the photos posted by other yelpers. Kudos to them, which played an influence in our decision to come through. Highly highly recommended, if not for the food. Come for the ambiance and service.

Next, we indulged in a delicious flatbread pizza topped with pear, Gorgonzola cheese, pine nuts, and pesto. This pizza was absolutely heavenly! I regret not ordering a second flatbread, especially since there were several other enticing options on the menu. For dessert, we took the staff's recommendation and tried what might be the best bread pudding I’ve ever had in my life—and trust me, I’ve had my fair share of bread pudding! Do yourself a favor and visit just for dessert and a drink. However, the menu is so impressive that you’ll likely want to enjoy a full meal there as well! I will definitely be returning, and even 12 hours later, I'm still dreaming about the food!
