The ambiance is very nice. Server was prompt and courteous. I would have purchased a bottle of wine, but the markups were unrealistically high. Cocktails were fairly priced and good. Food overall was disappointing. The lamb carpaccio was the star of the evening, but every other course did not meet our expectations.

It just wasn’t anything very special. And paying $28 for a glass of Whitehaven, is absolutely absurd.

We were seated upon arrival at a quiet table as requested. Our server Bridget took great care of us. We never felt rushed. She took the time to inform us about entrees and checked on special cocktails as well. The chicken soup was perfect for a cool evening. Chicken wings app was flavorful. My pasta dish was very tasty, lots of vegetables and the salmon entree was prepared well. We’ll be back!

Excellent dinner with one major exception. I ordered an iceberg wedge salad and was given parts of a head of romaine. The romaine was also not fresh or tasty. Romaine can go either way, this one NOT. Iceberg is almost always fresh and well selected for this type of salad. When I pointed this out to the server, they said they’d check with the kitchen, but that’s the last I heard, and no offer to adjust the bill. Not a inexpensive salad. Remainder of dinner was outstanding. I had the Aria Chicken and my wife had the sea bass. Both wonderful. Wife’s caesar salad was also great. (The correct use for romaine)

The service and the food, as always was outstanding. There was a long delay in getting one entree, the way Celia handled the situation was simply outstanding, no excuses, just a focus on ensuring the customer experience was enjoyable! And the pork chop special was out of this world!

Food was good, however, a limited menu selection. Prices were outrageous for the food and drinks. Service was excellent. I wouldn’t go back knowing there are many restaurants with the same food quality and selection at more reasonable prices.

Went to see a show at the Performing Arts Center & wanted to go somewhere close. Didn’t know what to expect but was very impressed with the food and service. It was a little pricey but iit was worth the price. We will be going back as we have season tickets for musicals this year.

I was disappointed in the Charcuterie Plate I ordered. Very very basic, nothing to recommend it. The one thing you can count on to always be good is the chicken. If you go it is a safe choice. It is a nice place to eat when you are going to a play in the area.

Pre-show dinner. What a delicious surprise. I had the chicken with potato wedges & blistered green beans. The chicken was wonderful, very juicy and full of flavor.
