restaurant looks great when you walk in; bartender was nice if not overly attentive. host was nice, but disappeared when it was time for us to be seated. our waiter ended up seating us, and when it turned out that we weren't going to be "big spenders," he basically ignored us the rest of the meal. my osso buco was yummy, but my wife ended up paying $30 for a piece of salmon on a plate. Nothing else. I'm not kidding. we will not be returning .

This experience was not good at all...menu seems weird...sometimes farm to table is good sometimes you just need to go to the grocery store.

Great food and quiet lunch was just what the Dr. ordered. This is not your meat and potato place, and thank goodness. There are enough of those. Simple food with a twist...that's what I would call it. Enjoy!

I expected more for the cost. I chose the tasting menu ($45) with the wine paring ($25). The dishes were tasty but not outstanding. The salad was fresh but not memorable. The soup was respectable and the beef was perfectly cooked. The wine pours were about 2 oz per course so you are getting one glass of wine for $25. The first was a Prosecco which is the affordable end of sparkling. The other two wines were fine, not wow. The last wine arrived after I started my last course. I suggest getting ordering off the regular menu. Pick a good glass of wine and save a few bucks. Was it an $80 meal, no.

You can tell a lot about an eatery when you get a "signature" dish (which happened to be the scallops) and it arrives to your table pale white and undercooked. Then i waited for my dessert for 30 mins. When we said something, it seemed they rushed the dish to us, leaving the dough uncooked. Really disappointing... where is Tafia when you need it...

Menu is interesting but was disappointed with what came out. Overall most dishes lacked flavor depth and complexity. It is a cool space with a good atmosphere though.

Our meal was delicious. It was very noisy though. I think there just happened to be a huge group that showed up for the happy hour. We will definitely be back.
