💎HIDDEN GEM💎 Nestled in a residential neighbourhood, I loved the local vibes and lovely outdoor atrium setting of this charming, pet-friendly restaurant. Offering an upscale-casual menu, every dish I tried from the Sweet Corn & Shrimp Risotto to the Brown Butter Cake was stellar.  Service was warm, attentive, and overall outstanding. Highly recommended! FYI - There is no indoor seating besides a small, private event room. #outdoorseating #alfrescodining #shrimp #risotto #contemporaryAmerican
