Many note the knowledgeable staff who are happy to recommend wine pairings or adjust timing for concert plans. The house-made charcuterie and fresh pastas are frequent favorites, and several reviews highlight the cozy, inviting ambiance as a perfect prelude to a night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu can be a bit limited for picky eaters or those looking for standard fare.
