Thank you so much for this great review Matias, and we appreciate you taking the time to shoutout our wonderful staff.We are so lucky to have an amazing team in place here, and we love what we do! We hope to see you again soon :)
Loved dining here! The food was amazing and our servers were excellent.We dined in the outdoor area, but there are warm heaters and it was very cozy.I recommend making reservations, as they stay very busy.If you’re a Friends fan, the restaurant is at the bottom of the Friends apartment building and was also used for the outside shots of Central Perk.

What an incredible and intimate venue for our date night! Jack, the GM, and Dani, our server, were both spectacular hosts - we were seated promptly and had some lovely conversations, then began appreciating this gorgeous little corner restaurant! Huge windows, simple vintage decor with a gorgeous chandelier and eclectic details such as fresh flowers on the tables and little notebooks to write messages in which presented the check. The food was marvelous: they split our caesar salad in the kitchen for us, while we enjoyed the squash risotto and palm hearts salad on the first course.So delicious! Fantastic caesar with fresh anchovy, the risotto was rich and perfectly cooked with great balance of flavor and texture in the garnish. That palm heart salad was the winner for me however: fresh citrus all over, the softest palm hearts, and a delicious cappeletti reduction made for a sweet and rich salad with bitter and fresh green notes to round it out.I could eat that every single day. For our entrees, we shared the daily special: striped bass with another risotto, shrimp, and crispy shallots, with a side of the eggplant parmesan and some lovely green beans.We both agreed the fish was delightful and soft, cooked perfectly, but the whole dish was a bit light on salt.As a special that's understandable - less time to perfect it, or maybe we just like more salt, but it was quite tasty and pleasant on the palette.The eggplant parmesan was classic, and the green beans were lightly spicy and sweet and were delicious. We finished with the dulce de leche brownie and three different flavors of gelato on the side, which were all tasty, but if you have to choose one get the banana chocolate chip gelato all the way. This may be one of our new favorite date night spots.The friendly and comfortable atmosphere, incredible food and a killer, tight wine list, and great hosts made this an easy place to spend our evening.Thank you team!
