"The food was good, but not a ton of bang for your buck.This is a cute restaurant inside. We were seated upstairs and it was adorable. Service was ok; our server warmed up to us over time but originally told us that we needed to hurry up and order because we only had the table for two hours (meanwhile, we were nearly a half hour early she said this at, for example, 6:45 when our reservation wasn't even set to start until 7:00) We started with some cocktails which were alright and a little on the pricier side. We split several appetizers and entrees:GRILLED PRAWNS probably our favorite of the appetizers. Really nice sauce on these guys. CRISPY ARTICHOKES nice as well, exactly what you'd expect. Small portion. RAZOR CLAM CRUDO totally fine, also exactly what you'd expect. Small portion. SPAGHETTI BOTTARGA this is what I got for my entree and honestly for $25 it was extremely basic. Spaghetti bottarga is pretty basic to begin with so I'm not sure what I expected, but this was recommended to me instead of the cavatelli and the garganelli so I was hoping for something interesting here.CHOCOLATE CAKE very standard PANNA COTTA delicious. Balsamic on top added a nice touch.Nothing about this meal was bad by any means, but I think if I was going to drop $350 on a three person dinner again, I'd consider going somewhere else but I wouldn't be mad if I ended up here again, either!"
