    Service and dinner was good. However bread is no longer included and is an added charge now. Interesting from an higher end Italian restaurant. Olive Garden even has free bread sticks.

    From the moment we were seated and greeted by our waiter to the final dessert it was all 5 star experience.The waiter was superb. Just the right amount of smiles and banter. A good handle on the menus and even suggested slight alterations that met our tastes. The food was expertly prepared. The ambiance was perfect and thy left us to linger as long as we chose. Left the largest tip ever because it was very well deserved.

    The beet salad was superb. But the scallops were way too salty and the squash pasta had way too much sauce to really taste the squash. the chocolate torte was really pretty good. I’ll be back though to try other things. One time isn’t a fair summary. The waitstaff was great.

    Service was extremely slow so much so that we were left with our menus with no orders taken (neither appetizers nor drinks) for 30-45 min. Our server was unable to speak to the wine selections which disappointed our client. Once we did order a bottle, he presented it but then informed us he had to serve cocktails to another table before he could open it for us. All in all, though the food was satisfactory, I will be taking clients elsewhere going forward.
