Our server was outstanding….and made up for being in the bar area where it was quite loud. Upstairs seating is preferred if you want a nice, quiet evening. Food is going to be outstanding … mostly. I’d avoid the grilled shrimp. The branzino is incredible and of course the ribeye, the chicken. Dessert was nice and the Sazerac cocktail is a must. It’s a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing service, but quite loud and in spite of making a reservation weeks in advance, our party of 5 was crammed into a 4 top with one of us hanging into a walking aisle (and forced to move a couple times for people to walk behind us). There was nowhere to put our stuff because the table was quite small and it’s winter so our hats and gloves and bags all had to go in our lap or on the ground. Our server was phenomenal though.

I’m one of those people with weird allergies and our server (can’t remember his name but was wearing a chiefs jersey) was so accommodating! Gave me a list of all the things I could eat and even had the kitchen make some accommodations. The whipped ricotta was SO GOOD. as well as the cucumber salad. Really good spot for happy hour.

They have a very, very creative take on small plates (tapas) and they are surprisingly different than La Bodega. We went at 5:30, and no one can beat them for happy hour specials. But they are a good value when we've there at more typically dinner times. It is a little noisy, and that is both charming and a curse. Not a good place to go if you need to chill. But an excellent place when you're "out of the town".

Extra Virgin was an entire experience! We went at 1pm on a Monday. Probably the perfect time of day to go. We reserved seating, but there was no need. The food was absolutely incredible. We shard the hummus, shrimp, and pork loin. And WOW! We also had cocktails. My wife's was tasty, but my key lime cocktail was crazy good! The server was also very helpful and super friendly! 10/10, treat yourself.

We wanted to sit outside but once there, the noise was too much between loud conversations and loud vehicles going by. The host kindly moved us inside and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, wine, and conversation. Only complaint was the mushrooms being very salty. The lamb ribs are delicious! Will definitely return if we get a chance.
