We were greeted and seated immediately. Then we sat, and sat, watching server after server go by without even a hello. Finally, Mason showed up, and actually, he turned out to be worth the wait. Friendly, attentive, and offered good suggestions. The trout dip tasted like trout (yea) and the toast was perfect. The vegetable club was amazing - golden beets, slice of feta. Truly a taste fest. The smoked old fashion was a unique take with the orange slice holding in the smoke a little longer.

This lively place is awesome. Our group had a mix of great pasta and we all enjoyed it. I had the Bolognese and added the meatball. Oh, that meatball! A meal in itself and so very tasty! Caesar salad was also delish, and that focaccia bread is now one of my favorites. This is a pricey spot, but with the excellent service, ambiance and food - worth it.
