The care of the staff impressed me the most! We requested via open table, a quiet location. Initially we were seated at a lovely table near the piano. One the music began, it was too loud for us, but we did not say anything as our food service had begun. Soon a manager arrived and stated he read the reservation note about our request for a quiet table and he wanted to move us. We were so thankful and impressed that the staff went to great lengths to make us comfortable.

Wonderful menu. Each course was beautifully presented and a delicious take on Venice. The wine pairings were great, some very unique wine. Definitely a place to go for a special occasion.
