Great spot for an intimate date night or celebratory dinner. The wine list is extensive and meals are pricy but the flavor and quality are worthit!

Our server and other wait staff were very friendly and attentive. For appetizers, we had the AhiTuna Crudo and Shrimp Al Cognac. Both were very good, but the shrimp dish was not that special as the name and description ledme to believe, but it was still good. My wife had the Frutti de Mare, which she said was delicious but she would have liked itto have more garlic. I had the Carbonara that was extremely delicious with the pasta cooked perfectly! I hadn't had Carbonarain years, and this meal made me wish I had it every day. The Spumoni Bomb for dessert was also a big hit. I should note thatthe server for the customers seated at the high top next us was extremely professional in the way he dealt with the female dinerat that table as she was a very demanding and high maintenance individual. If I had been that server, I would have thrown inthe towel with this high maintenance customer, but the server held his tongue and was tolerant of the female diner's demandseven though my wife and I could tell he wished he were waiting on another table with different customers! It was funny and sadat the same time to watch, Overall, a wonderful dining experience, and we'll be back. I took one star away as we were not ableto book a dining table via the online system when I made reservations as it stated online that dining table seating was notavailable for the time slot I reserved 6pm). However, upon our arrival at the restaurant there were plenty of empty tables asonly 3 tables had customers and there were no more than 10 customers in total when we arrived. There was plenty of staffstanding around so no excuse if they said it was due to bring short-staffed. Thus, I am unsure why we were not able to reservea table for dinner?? Make sure to get reservations early in the week to guarantee a table.

The only downside was that the dessert we ordered was finished before the coffee arrived. Aside from that, it was a wonderful dining experience.
