"Good place to go if you happen to be in Great Falls. I didn't like my salad or fried calamari, but the fish entree made up for that. The desserts were scrumptious too."

"We went here for our anniversary, and were not disappointed. We just love the way they not only restored an old home, but saved it from demolition. The pasta e fagioli soup was incredible....a very large bowl and very well prepared. The Caesar salad was very crisp and a good portion. The lamb chops were excellent, but for $30 they should consider providing more than 4 small chops for what is supposed to be a "rack of lamb." The half lobster was very good. We considered the chicken parm but that ended when they advised that they only serve it with vegetables and if we wanted pasta, that would be extra. That's a snob factor that I suggest they reconsider. Overall, the incredible atmosphere and excellent food will bring us back."

"The food quality and yum factor has dropped significantly over this past year. Items that used to be outstanding are now only average. Ingredients are not great, the breads were fabulous but now they seem to be old and dried out. Very unhappy since we have been coming to this restaurant for twenty years."

"I went on Sat. night and was surprised at the quality of food vs. the price and the responsive of a special request. The food was ok, nothing special, but the prices were high. I ordered chicken parm which came with a small potato and I requested a substitute of pasta. They would not do this and then agreed with an additional charge of $10. The chicken dish cost $39 in total and was not worth it. I will never go back."

"We had dinner on a Monday night so it wasn't a surprise that there were few diners. This was a benefit for us with lots of personal attention paid to us by our waiter who even entertained us with a few jokes. I loved the lamb chops and two others had the veal stuffed ravioli that was delicious. It had been quite a while since our last visit, but we'll be back."

"It's a neighborhood favorite and they did a great job on Valentine's Day. It was very festively decorated, the service was great, not too slow or fast, and the food was wonderful. Can't wait to go back!"

"Me and my fiance have been here several times and I have always had amazing food and the staff is great. The first time we ever attended was with our prom group of 20 almost a decade ago. And now we will host our rehersal dinner here when we get married in the fall. I recommend it to everyone all the time. If u go make sure to order the scallops wrapped in Bacon with the lodger bisque sauce, its my favorite appetizer."
