Stopped in at the bar for an early Dinner. Curtis and Jean Luc were awesome made us feel like we had been coming there for years. It was so nice to be in a restaurant where everyone is working as a team and really showed they cared about our experience. Everyone who walked by us took a minute to check on us and ensure we were having an awesome experience. Food was 100%. Ceaser salad for two was huge, tangy and full of perfectly crispy pancetta. Extra crunchy Veal Parm was so tender inside with an awesomely surprising cheese blend bubbling hot and stringy. Great night. Thank you. Lisa and Casey
