"I recommended this restaurant for my brother-in-law's birthday, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We initially sought a cozy cocktail bar for a chat, but we were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding service, delicious food, and inventive drinks. I found myself in a comfortable booth in the back room and decided to try a drink called the Capricorn, which I highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth! The cocktail menu was impressive and diverse; I'm eager to try the Cumin Centipede on my next visit. My sister ordered a Ruby Red Manhattan, and my brother-in-law went for something with an orange base, though I can't recall the exact name. All the cocktails were complex yet easy to enjoy, and we received them promptly, even on a busy Friday night. As for the food, we indulged in some of the best pasta I've had in a long time. The chicken meatball linguini was bursting with flavor and had the perfect texture. I’m usually particular about cream tomato sauces, but this one was simply delightful—creamy, slightly spicy, and absolutely delicious. My sister chose the field green salad, which featured a fantastic balsamic vinaigrette complemented by delicious fried shallots. My brother-in-law ordered the trout, which was also outstanding. It came with a generous serving of risotto, although the broccolini was a bit oversized. If that’s my only complaint, I’m definitely coming back! Overall, the prices were reasonable, the portions generous, and everything we tried was very tasty."

Absolutely amazing! The staff here has consistently been exceptional. The food and cocktails are outstanding. I've eaten here numerous times over the past four years with different people, and everyone has enjoyed everything we've tried. Besides the occasions when I've brought dates, I've never had a bad experience. Even then, the comforting food and attentive service made it worthwhile. A suggestion for the staff: consider sharing a dessert or getting a round for later! What truly impresses me is that even during busy times, the food arrives fresh, delicious, and just as ordered within 5 to 20 minutes. I've waited years to share this review to keep this place from getting too crowded, but I...
