Tasty food, good drinks, and a lively atmosphere. Dined with a group of coworkers and most of the table ordered the lasagna and said it was incredible. We did, however, have a very rough experience with our waitress. She was, comically, short with us. My coworker even tried to make it his goal to make her like us/laugh as his jokes. He almost got a smirk out of her once, but was otherwise unsuccessful. We simply assumed our waitress was having a bad day, and extended her some grace. We still enjoyed ourselves, and left happy and full!

This place is very cute and quiet with a very modern/posh/tropical aesthetic. The pasta was freshly made and had a light sauce. I really liked it and thought it was unique. Service was kind and explained the different menu options to us. The price is a little more on the expensive side but worth it and not as busy as other restaurants.

Went here for pasta. Sat at the bar as a table was going to take a while . Service was ... casual. Food didn't take long to get. Drinks, maybe a few minutes more . Serving size was a little under just right (meaning I could have had more). Got the totelloni- deliciously wrapped with some crazy cheese. Friend got rigatoni. Needless to say- nothing left.

This was not the dinner we originally planned, but it was attached to the Ace hotel and we were tired so we figured we would give it a try. We sat at the bar, which was not crowded, and dug right into appetizers and drinks. The whipped parmesan appetizer was heaven. Served with crusty bread, we absolutely scooped up every bit of light, airy cheese. When is cheese ever a bad thing? That I couldn't tell you. From there, we moved on to dinner. Since they boasted fresh pasta, I went for the classic cacio e pepe, which was one of the best I've ever had. My husband had a more complicated pasta dish, but in both cases we could not have been happier. For drinks, we went with wine, simply because we had an early morning the next day and wanted to keep things simple. Beautiful space, wonderful service, excellent food. My husband actually ate there on night two of our trip as well, since it was raining and the roads were flooded. I took a nap, but he brought me up a Caesar salad that was every bit as delicious as the meal on night one.

The vibe, service, and options of wine flights here were my favorite thing about this restaurant! Food could have been better but very much enjoyed the charcuterie board. Would recommend trying!

Had beignets to start the meal a traditional item here I believe. Came around 11am and was promptly sat with a reservation. This is located at the front of the Ace hotel and had a nice ambiance. Full open bar with plenty of seating and good variety of booze. Wife had the shrimp and grits but be prepared for the heads to come on lol. I had the steak that was cooked the spec and had a nice char. Served with fries but the menu was not specific so I assumed breakfast potatoes but it was tasty. Did not try dessert but they had couple selections.
