Exactly what we were craving! High ceiling, open kitchen, friendly staff who stayed on top of service (filling water, bringing more hot water for tea,etc). The food was really good. For two of us we shared the lobster bisque bowl and Pasta Brio. They did split our pasta for us as we told them we were sharing the order.

Came in at 7:05pm on a Friday without a reservation. It was unsurprisingly packed. There were some 3-4 groups waiting for a table, and they said a table for one would be a 20-30 minutes wait. So I opted for the bar, which I could be sitted immediately. The bar was also pretty packed -- there were 2 spots left out of maybe 15.
Anyway I ordered the Sicilian spaghetti with shrimp, which was quite good. I felt it was fresh high quality pasta (supposedly it's homemade pasta). Took two photos, one with flash, because it was kind of dark 😄. The food arrived about 20-25 minutes after I sat down (I did have the usual bread and butter starter), which I thought was rather reasonable for a busy Friday evening.
Overall a solid spot for good tasty food and great service.
Oh, I think parking in this area was quite tough -- there was a valet nearby though. Caveat was I didn't look too closely to see if there was a public parking lot. I opted to park at the lot between whole foods and tj max and walked over. Just a 3-4 minute walk.
