| - Thanks to Yelp and Dieci for bailing me out of a Valentine's Day jam. I didn't plan appropriately for the evening, so I just gritted my teeth together real sturdy-like and winged it on this selection. Besides the positive reviews, being able to make reservations within a two hour window right from Yelp was a "A+++ will do business again" moment.
The outdoor seating is limited, but its in a large, semi-covered alcove, so it doesn't feel confining. Musical selection included Bjork, Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, and Massive Attack (down tempo/trip-hop?), which I felt went well with the atmosphere. The volume was the correct setting as well, loud enough I could enjoy it and still carry on a conversation.
I particularly enjoyed the pesto, olive tapanade, and freshly baked breads, and the house salad with their homemade dressing! The wife and I split a shrimp and pasta dish, then ordered the tiramisu - also made in house! The food offerings were excellent and portion-wise didn't feel overpriced.
For me, this restaurant ticked all the boxes, and my wife enjoyed herself. Another bonus for the evening was that it wasn't a table turning, packed to the gills event. The chefs and wait staff were very attentive and accommodating. Great experience all the way around.
Nice work team!
