    We had a very good time. The food was great, and our server is very friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. The seafood pasta was delicious. The filet was cooked just right (not over cooked) and tasted great. We also loved their branzino. It's done very well and the sauce and spice that go along is perfect. Overall, it was very enjoyable.

    This is a hidden find at the Oakbrook mall. There are many healthy menu options, and the portion size of my salmon selection was generous. There are happy hour prices that entice you to have a cocktail or appetizer when you aren’t thinking that way, and 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesdays. We were treated to a friendly and attentive server. I had not been here for over a year, and my most recent visit was great again.
