    This was my 2nd time coming to this restaurant. The 1st was for brunch and the 2nd was for dinner. In yesterday I celebrated my friend's birthday and had dinner. The food was so good and fresh. Our waiter was very nice and patient because the menu online was totally different than what they offer in the restaurant so I was a little unsure of what to order. Per my server (Adam) I think is his name I went with the shrimp linguine and it was solid. When we sat the table was very wobbly but we were able to move tables with no issues. I would always go back.
