Amazing spot for dinner! Host and server were both so friendly and attentive. The burrata starter with pistachio and blood orange was light and refreshing. The fried chicken sandwich and pork shoulder mains were flavorful and high quality. Flourless chocolate cake to top off the meal! Non-alcoholic beers available as well as other draft or wine options.

This is only one of a handful of times that we've ever been led astray by great reviews. I recommend skipping this place as there are so many other great options. We won't be going back and we're honestly surprised by how amiss our experience was.

The food taste was mediocre at best and the service seemed very disconnected. We felt as though the workers wanted to serve well, but they just weren't streamlined and everything felt discombobulated. In our opinion, they need better management and training. The chef was also a letdown as the food wasn't well balanced and only one dish was a hit at our table. The prices were astronomical for the experience we had. It felt like a chain restaurant experience at Michelin prices - it's like they want to be something they're not. This was not the experience we expected or paid for and the exceptional reviews honestly feel hard to explain. Considered 3 stars because the experience wasn't terrible, but the price tag leaves more to be desired.

Make reservations if possible ahead of time. Fyi
I have never heard of this place until today.
The moment I saw a reservation system, small seating, and a corkage fee. I was like, this sounds very familiar.. I once worked at a restaurant like this in the city.
But let's talk about the food:
I tried the Gnocchi, the pesto, and pine nuts one , it was good. I am very curious about the pizzas. Definitely will try their pizzas next time. Had a garden salad, and it was very fresh.
I tried their meatballs, and it was very tasty, I must say.
Limited parking, if you are not early. I can't imagine what it would be like when it is busy. If there is a designated parking area, please let me know.
Restroom: one occupancy, but clean.
Service: Attentative. I barely asked for refills of my water 💧 so that is a plus.
Definitely will come back on pay day, though. Prices are $$$

Important news flash: they do BRUNCH in addition to incredible dinners. I could write a whole post on how amazing and lovely this is as a date spot for dinner and how much I freaking love their salads and gluten free pizzas (possibly my favorite one in the bay), but this is about brunch.
We had no idea they did brunch and when we looked at the menu for it online, it didn’t list any mains. But we went anyway and were blown away. I’m adding a pic of the actual brunch menu so you can see the real selection offered.
Y’all, they have a BREAKFAST PIZZA and I promise it’s even better than you would imagine. Do you like breakfast? Do you like pizza? This is a heavenly chimera of two of life’s greatest joys.
👑🔥 Don’t sleep on the brunch! But also the perfect date spot. Get yourself a restaurant that can do both, and support local.
The owner was there during our visit and went out of his way to create an excellent experience. Also, the patio is very dog friendly 🐶

We were delighted to come across this place. The wine selection is excellent. We had Brussels sprouts to start. Lasagna and scallops were fantastic. We were given had two glasses of port for dessert. The service was above and beyond. Thank you, Kevin! We will be back and bragging about this place to everyone!! Again, thank you!!

Great place with a good atmosphere. Met the proprietor who uses his mom's carrot cake receipe - delectable. Everything was delicious. Had the burrata to start, pork chop, pappadella, ribeye, and salmon. Carrot cake for dessert😋

The best chicken waffle I ever had in my life. All the menu is really inviting and look really good, but I cannot pick anything else but the chicken waffle.
