    My wife and I went there for our 25th anniversary. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. I had the seafood risotto, and the wife had the Benny's steak. Very satisfied. The server made the experience very nice for us and also surprised us with dessert even though we were so full of the main meal. So thoughtful. Highly recommend. My favorite place in Rockford to eat by far.
