Food: Innovative menu but pricey

The Veal Parmigiana, succulent and flavorful, is a standout, as is the Spumoni, the light dessert that artfully combines chocolate, cherry, and pistachio flavors. However, some dishes feel overpriced and underwhelming, such as the not so fresh Shrimp Fra Diavola contributing to a negative sway of freshness and value, not to mention the remarkably limited menu choice.

  • Okay Taste

    Mix of amazing and average dishes; some overpriced but ambiance appreciated.

  • Low Quality

    Shrimp not fresh and overcooked, detracting from the meal's quality.

Vibe: Cocktails need revamping

The inviting, romantic ambiance and the suitability for date night are highly praised, making for memorable dining experiences. However, the cocktails counterbalance this positivity, often being rated mediocre or even dubbed a 'cocktail scam'. The buzz around the restaurant is neutral with an equal mix of praise and criticism.

  • Great For Dates

    Romantic, intimate setting ideal for date nights, frequently praised by customers.

  • Okay Buzz

    Popular and photogenic but also has critical Yelp reviews and revival.

  • Bad Drinks

    Cocktails mediocre at best; some even call it a cocktail scam.

Perks: Reservations: a Herculean task

The lack of a dedicated parking lot and noise levels noticeably hinder the dining experience. Moreover, obtaining a reservation seems arduous, a fact compounded by the unsuitable environment it offers for large groups and children, scoring poor perks sways. However, the service has received mixed reviews, being both lauded and criticized.

  • Okay Service

    Service varied: some experienced excellent staff while others faced disappointing issues.

  • Bad For Groups

    Customers felt cramped, neglected with long waits, despite having reservations.
