   We had a wonderful time! The ambiance was incredible and so was the food. The whipped eggplant appetizer lived up to the hype!

   Hair in my food. Didn’t say anything. Then found another and waiter walking right up when it happened. He said “sorry” and then said he would take the dish off the menu. I think they should have comped more than a 15 salad where I ate two pieces of hair. Or offered dessert or something.

   Off night. Food was very meh. But I’ve had good food before and the ambiance is fun if you are seated in the “fun” or “nice” section of the space

   Went on a busy Saturday night and the service was amazing. The staff is very attentive and helped us with ordering. It was a bit loud and cramped at the tables for 2, I’d recommend going with a group of 3 or more just to have a bit more space. Their pork shoulder special was AMAZING, I would go back just to have that over and over. Canella espresso martini was perfectly balanced. The burrata with fig was a little underwhelming, but the pesto pasta was also perfectly done.

   Food was great- whipped eggplant, ahi tartare, meatballs, roasted mushrooms. Drinks and service were a bit underwhelming but vibe was fun!
