• work dinner, party of 20

  Amazzzinggg spot for a small event. We did a 20ish person work dinner with a set, family style menu. The food was incredible. Very inclusive menu (aside from not many vegan-friendly options on the table). The crudo was amazing. The veggies and dip were lowkey a highlight. The salads were phenomenal. The only thing that was mid was the branzino tbh. The service was outstanding. My only suggestion is that if the leftovers from the family style meals are going to trash, that would be SO sad. I think it’s becoming more accepted in the corporate world to take leftovers to prevent waste. But if staff are eating them that’s great.

• 75th birthday party

  We were guests at a 75th Birthday Celebration. A room was reserved upstairs. The waiting staff was amazing - friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was delicious. Meal was served family style for each table 3 appetizers, 2 sides and 3 entrees. The desert was to die for - Kaitaifi Cheesecake.

• large party booking, party of 10

  This place was my favorite spot, been there many times, great food, service was good sometimes, depending of who's your server One time I had a top server, another time I had a order taker server that just did that, no greetings, just running to take your order, but mostly I go there cause food is good and is a beautiful restaurant I usually take people that visit me there since I live in the area Few days ago I was trying to bring big business to the restaurant for a special occasion, a large party I thought it will be an easy task I called the restaurant, they directed me to catering cuz larger parties don't get to enjoy the full menu, they give you a prefix menu, still I reached out to them and they redirected me to a company that doesn't even manage the restaurant, this was odd, 2 days had passed and they ignored me What a let down One thing is for sure, business that don't put any effort in accommodating me, will never get my money back So I booked somewhere else Not they only they loss a client, I'll make sure people can read this before booking a party of more than 10, go somewhere else that give you access to the full menu, horrible business practice

• large group dinner

  The hosts upfront were not really friendly and didn't give.any good direction. We are a large party and they didn't seem that they wanted to accommodate us. Finally the waiter stepped and brought the manager. Manager was great and the serving staff were amazing. Food was all really good. We got the family style and enjoyed our evening

• group dinner, party of 12

  We had dinner with a party of 12. Service and food was excellent. Especially the lamb. Highly recommended.
