"We booked ahead and glad we did. The place was slammed and rockin! I love going to a restaurant that is full with a line at the door. You know before you sit down everyone is here for a great experience. I’d read reviews for an hour in the afternoon sipping Prosecco before we arrived so I had a general ideas of what I wanted to experience. Drinks were a smoky bourbon Manhattan and a spicy margarita. Too spicy so we opted for an espresso martini. And slowly finished the Margarita There were only two of us so we couldn’t share and eat everything we wanted! We had to settle. Something familiar from past trips we drive 7 hours from Canada to eat here, and not since before COVID and something new. Our three openers were the roasted beet salad amazing the soft egg and lobster Bruschetta with ricotta and the ravioli with the creamy egg yolk , one of our faves and one that we’ve done at home since trying it here. Pasta dishes were the rabbit pasta and the gnocchi with orange and cauliflower. Both great, full of their individual flavours and leaving just enough room for desert. Pause here. Joshua our server was awesome! Attentive. There when he was needed, anticipating what we needed and wanted and made a great suggestion for wine. I second guessed him so he brought two samples his and my suggestion and he was right! Happily right The bottle paired well with everything and carried into desert time. I had the chocolate Budino with decaf espresso and the other was the affogato. I shared all the dishes with my partner. Happy memories and a great meal again. Thank you Josh and BLG!"
