We had a very nice 2 spot table next to the fireplace. All servers and bussers were very attentive. We each had the Calamari Lemonata which was wonderful--2 very large pieces each, breaded in Panko they fried perfectly to a light crisp. This is our favorite dish here.

Great dinner last night. Sat at a high top near the bar. Table was served by the bar tender, who was very attentive and made good recommendations for drink/wine pairings. I had the shish kabob and my husband had lamb chops. Both very tasty. Was a very enjoyable evening.
