    We went for Restaurant week. Food was good but the portion of shrimp should have been more than 4. Donut dessert was yummy.

    Celebrating a birthday! Scallops and linguini were amazing. So was the penne Fresca. Our server, Brook, was so kind and friendly. You can tell she likes her job. Then there was a complimentary birthday dessert, flan with chocolate and caramel drizzle. Didn’t even know I liked flan but it was excellent. Very rich. Great place to get older! LOL

    Happy Birthday, Karen! So thankful that you decided to celebrate another year around the sun with us. Can't wait to celebrate the next one with you! See you soon.

    Wonderful experience. Food was fantastic. Upscale from Olive Garden but no need to dress black tie. Highly recommend a reservation to avoid waiting.

    It was uncomfortably hot where we were seated, and very noisy. All of the neighboring tables were very loud. My shirt was wet with sweat by the time we left. Chicken Parmesan was subpar. The chicken was very hot, and pasta only lukewarm. I think the chicken was microwaved to reheat it. The meal was very expensive and left me very disappointed. Service was good, though.
