    Our waitress (Shanon?) was fantastic! With a party of 5 everyone enjoyed their meals except the one order of chicken Milanese that was over cooked and dry. Salads were good. High marks for the burger, gnocchi and shrimp and grits. Drinks were brought quickly and prices were fair. I would recommend going again, but suggest requesting upstairs seating. A little quieter and cooler in temp.

    The food was quite good. Calamari appetizer had a nice pop and came with two dips. The skirt steak was outstanding. The portions were generous. The main courses came way too soon before we had a chance to finish the appetizer and had to be sent back. We asked for bread and a nice garlic bread was served at no cost. The scampi dish said it had lobster and came with none. The kitchen corrected, but it threw off the timing of the meal. The staff tried hard to please, but the net effect was that the botchups affected the enjoyment of the dining experience. Some fine tuning would make this a plus restaurant.

    The service started off a bit slow, but it improved as the meal went on. The food was quite good, and we particularly enjoyed the flatbread pizza. The atmosphere was lively, which was nice, although the loud music and high ceilings made it difficult to have a conversation without raising our voices. Overall, it was a positive experience, but some adjustments could enhance the dining experience further.

    If you don’t mind the noise and close tables, the food is worth the visit. Our waitress, Francesca, was very attentive and friendly.
