We had veal Marsala, chicken parmigiana, halibut, steaks and everything was delicious. We had excellent service with great desserts too to celebrate my aunts birthday. We love this restaurant so much!!! Thanks

    The food was very good as was the service. The food came out a little too fast for our liking. We prefer to pause between courses.

    The ambience was incredible. I really appreciate the playlist-refreshing and chill for a Sunday night. A Frank Sinatra medley was featured. I ordered the tuna wrap and a decaf iced latte. I have had many lattes in my life, this one was exquisite. Also, separately I would like to add that it was definitely decaf! Our server was warm and inviting, and was energetic about items on the menu. We felt the service was very good and we were waited on quickly after being seated. The food quality was excellent and fresh. We felt the portion sizes on both the herb crusted salmon over garlic mashed potatoes was tasty and filling. The mushroom sauce truly complemented the potatoes perfectly. We love the menu updates that have been implemented! We tip our hats to the incredibly dedicated manager we saw working in the restaurant and behind the scenes at a furious pace to streamline all things last night! Cheers to the chef. We highly recommend!
