    As always, it was wonderful! Everything was delicious was delicious! We shared the burrata appetizer, while I savored the chicken Marsala dinner with a nice pairing of Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc … can’t think of a meal that I would have enjoyed more! 😋 And one of the guests in my party enjoyed the Baked Stuffed Shrimp (her favorite there) paired with Aveleda vinho verde and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his Apple glazed salmon (which looked fabulous …and I don’t even eat fish!) paired with the Nobilo Sauvignon from the bottle that we had ordered! Having also enjoyed a very tasty dipping oil with freshly baked rolls, we had no room for dessert. Actually, the portions are quite generous, so we each took home a few leftovers (which we look forward to enjoying!) Kassidy is often our server; however, she was not available and we were super pleased with the pleasant efficient service of Lisa! Don’t believe there’s anything further to add … I highly recommend and believe you won’t be disappointed!

    Ate outside on the "patio". It's nice but it is also right next to the parking lot an near the road. We all had seafood. Food was good, not spectacular. Wide range of beer choices. Service was excellent.
