    The food was delicious and service excellent. We were inside where there were 2 large parties. It was very noisy and difficult to have a conversation. Still enjoyed the evening.

    Have been here many times over the years. Overall a good experience. Service was a bit slow and we had a server who I believe was new and was not quite up to speed. There were several large parties (birthday and graduation) there so the room was full. Food is good there. It’s consistent and tasty. Nice portions. We will return as it remains on our list for good places to dine.

    The many food choices, both Italian and Mexican, make it hard to decide what to try - but everything was excellent.
