Went for my wife birthday luncheon on a Wednesday at 11:30am. This fairly new restaurant is a great new addition to this area. The motif is modern style with an open concept including the kitchen and bar that looks out to the outdoor seating and street. Our dining service and food were excellent. The little gem Cesar salad, Crispy brussel sprouts,Spicy rigatoni vodka, Trattole chicken pesto, and Squid Ink Tonnarelli were delicious. They have an extensive beverage menu , and be sure to checkout their desserts. Will definitely return to tryout other dishes.
