Reviews
"Could not say enough about this place. Came for dinner without any expectations, but it absolutely blew me away. Tartare was amazing, ink pasta delicious and beautifully garnished. But what got me the most were desserts. I'm originally from Europe and these were hands down the best desserts I've tried in the US in 7 years here. Not too sweet, with lots of flavor and elegant flavor combinations."
