Cliquey. Service mostly a miss. Food is nice but not nice enough to justify the price. It’s a place for diners who are friends of the owners.

Everything was well cooked but the portions were tiny with huge price tags. Also the crab pasta I got had zero flavor. It tasted like buttered noodles. The complimentary focaccia is amazing and unlike typical focaccia (save a piece for your pasta sau
