    There are good restaurants in this area but they are not in large numbers. Restaurant 3 is a standout and a local favorite. I just love their Rigatoni Bolognese.

    Very slow service, took 25 minutes to get a drink, had to ask for bread… had to ask if there were any specials, server disappeared for long periods, never checked in after food was delivered by another person. At least the food was good.

    Great experience! My husband & I were on a time crunch & our server was incredible! We were in & out in about an hour despite it being a busy Friday night. The food & beverages were delicious! Can’t wait to go again!

    We had a lovely evening celebrating our daughter’s birthday. Anthony was friendly, efficient and answered questions about the menu. He was funny, all of our delicious meals arrived together, hot. I had asked for a quieter spot, so we were seated in the front room and could easily hear each other without raising our voices.
