Description
Adjacent to sister venue Oceans, the Rockwell Group-designed room pairs low lighting and paraffin candles with an open kitchen counter. The menu ranges beyond daily pasta into dishes like yellowtail crudo, focaccia, beef tartare, and short rib, served alongside an Italian-focused wine program and curated cocktails.
While service runs polished, navigating the meal comes with unpredictable portion sizes that shift from small tasting plates to substantial mains without obvious cues from menu order or price.
