"food and service terrific; noise level made it impossible to have a decent conversation and detracted significantly from the overall otherwise enjoyable evening."

"Very nice atmosphere and very good food. Service was a little slow, but the waiter did give us a free glass of wine to make up for the wait. A lovely place for dinner"

"All five of us had outstanding meals. I had the pumpkin ravioli with a sage sauce and it was outstanding. Others had Bronzino, Dover Sole, Lamb Chops, and a pasta, and again, everyone loved the food. My wife said that it was the best spinach she had ever eaten. The wait staff was extremely competent."

"Restaurant is lovely. The food was very good BUT, would have been better had it not been served lukewarm. (Cold appetizers were great). Hopefully it was just a one time glitch because otherwise, the service was wonderful, very attentive server but not too attentive. (They did comp our desserts) Despite the foregoing, I would go back. Overall, once they fix the lukewarm issue, it's a great restaurant."
