    Loved the grilled Romaine salad. I’ve only had it a few times in the past, but this was spectacular. Make sure to ask for some bread!

    Dined on a busy Saturday night. Michele was helpful with selections and wonderfully enthusiastic. Specials were just that..special. Fish and scallops prepared perfectly and plated with a very nice combination of risotto and seasonal vegetables. The variety of tastes around the plate were constantly changing and all very nice. Portions were larger than we were expecting. A wonderful night. Looking forward to next visit.
