Our meal, from start to finish, was fabulous! They offer a Beef Carpaccio, so rare to find now, that was beautifully prepared. The house-made pasta was amazing and they even spliced together two dishes for me. We drank our desserts and they were yummy! Daniel is the quintessential waiter and set the seal on our perfect meal. Highly recommend for any special event!!!!

Excellent as always. Please look at your check. We were a party of 4 yet they tacked on a 20% gratuity without informing us. We added 20% not realizing this but when I called once I was home they were extremely apologetic and credited the additional 20%. Other than that it was awesome. We can’t wait to return
