The service was great. Our servers were welcoming, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. The food was good. Everyone in my dinner party enjoyed their food, even my kids who are picky eaters. We had the crab cakes, lasagna, pepperoni pizza, and shrimp fettuccini. I would definitely eat here again.

The service and the food was excellent and reasonably priced for the assn Francisco Bay Area. They hadn’t added only two downside to this excellent restaurant was the lack of parking and the noise level, which was so loud that we could not carry on a conversation without yelling at each other. That may have due to it’s being Mother’s Day and it being crowded with families celebrating Mom. I do recommend this restaurant but be forewarned you need to allow time for parking spot hunting and that it is not the place for a quiet intimate dinner.

I ordered shrimp scampi with polenta and coleslaw. The polenta was plated with lumps in it. Although tasty, I couldn't eat the lumps. I ordered tiramisu for dessert. It was over powered buy the amount of chocolate sauce drizzled on the dessert and plate.

Hostess was not very pleasant, but thankfully our server Luis was the friendly, charming, and took genuine interest in caring for his guests. Appetizers were very good, but entrees can be better.
