    Service was very slow. Took 45 minutes for our food to get ordered. 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. A 8 person table came 30 minutes after us and had food before we got food.

    Drinks were not good, however the wine selection was solid. Calamari was inedible. Lamb chops were great and the paata was delicious! Service was very good. Restaurant looks very worn and could use an update or refresh.

    Made a reservation for Saturday night. We arrived 15 minutes early but were seated promptly at a booth as requested. There was a large group in their private room, and several large parties throughout the dining room. Our server, Erin, greeted us promptly and took our orders. She then brought us fresh sourdough bread and waters while waiting for our bar drinks. We ordered an Aperol spritz and Brio martini (dirty) from the bar. For our meals we ordered chopped salads (not on the menu anymore but still our favorite), Spaghetti Pomodoro and Chicken and Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo. Because of the large number of people in the restaurant we expected to wait longer than usual for our food and drinks. After our salads were served Erin stopped by every few minutes to keep us informed on the status of our meal. A few minutes later our drinks arrived. Both were expertly prepared and very tasty. There was a longer delay than usual between receiving our salads and the our entrees, but it was not excessive. The entire staff displayed great teamwork, helping each other and bringing food and drinks to all of the tables. Our entrees were perfectly prepared and delicious! We ordered items that we’ve eaten several times before, and the quality and taste of the preparations was the same as when the restaurant was far less crowded. Kudos to the kitchen for sending out consistent quality and taste across the board! We had a great meal with great service despite the crowds. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    We found the food mid. The service was amazing. The pasta was heavy on tomato and masked the taste of other ingredients. The chicken was grilled well but lacked flavor. Overall an average experience.
