    Fabulous restaurant especially for special occasions. Great menu, tasty dishes beautifully served, by experienced, polite, and friendly staff. The pre-fix menu is unique and given the range of dishes, though on the expensive side, is non—the less reasonably priced. If you try it, you will not be disappointed. It is one of our favorites.

    The service was excellent. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and special. And the food was delicious--especially the eggplant parm appetizer. The decor and ambience is upscale Italian chic--all in all, a great time!

    Another tremendous, special meal at this exquisite hotel restaurant. Our server was gracious and helpful, especially with helping to surprise my wife with birthday surprises. Each of our starters was delish: cheese plate and seared tuna. Our entrees complimented each other so nicely: gnocchi and duck breast. The chocolate tart and tres leches tart blew our minds, and they provided a third, complementary tart so all three of us had something special.
