We had a pleasant experience. Appetizers and Entree were quite delicious. We didn’t like the wood oven pizza, and the drinks were average. The restaurant provided cozy atmosphere for our group without much noise or disturbances. Server and host both continuously attended to our table, re-filling our glasses and taking orders at frequent intervals. Overall recommended.

Went for our anniversary dinner and was very pleased. We were seated at a comfortable booth near the bar and had great service by Erick M. I ordered a Manhattan and my wife had an Old Fashioned. Both were excellent. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the Prime Rib Sandwich was terrific. We both enjoyed sharing the Izzy's potatoes. Lots of parking was available.
