   Enjoyed our dinner, except for excessive noise level. I had swordfish, which was superb, plus some of what she had-a big and tasty pork chop, which was even better. Service by Mason was top notch, also, Bjorn, the manager visited twice, always a great touch! Noise level went down briefly when happy hour ended, but was again high by 7:30.

   Very fun and entertaining place for special get togethers and celebrations. I loved my food and the drinks were really good as well. Our birthday girl felt special and the service was very kind. It was amazing to have a bottle of water left for the table to refill our glasses. People watching was fun too!

   Great evening. Food was well prepared and service was excellent. Upbeat atmosphere but casual. Patio is really charming on spring evening like tonight.

   Valet parking was a RIPOFF. No prices were posted and we were charged TWENTY dollars when we went to pick up the car after dinner.

   The vodka pasta and pizza here are top tier. It’s one of my favorite restaurants.

   We had made reservations for an early dinner. We were brought to a table inside. We asked if we could sit outside at the bar instead as it was a little quieter. Our bartender did a great job. The cocktails were delicious. One of our party had a NA cocktail and it was also good. We shared the Saganaki appetizer. Amazing. We each a difference pasta dish. They were all very good. I especially enjoyed the Black Truffle Pasta with mushrooms and sausage. Flavorful and cheesy. All 3 of us had leftovers. I noticed other people had mentioned that the music is very loud. I would agree. Glad we were able to sit outside.

   Love the music and vibe . But hostess was not doing her job and I had to ask her for my table (happened 2 different times I’ve eaten here). Was supposed to be seated at 9 PM , I went up and asked if my table was ready and she said “oh yeah” (as if she forgot). Whipped ricotta was amazing . Margarita pizza was very bland, hardly any tomato sauce with no flavor. Fingerling potatoes were average. I’ve had the rigatoni before which was really good. Salmon was a sweet salmon , but pretty good. Pistachio macaroon not good or worth the calories . Raspberry sorbet was refreshing

   Pizza had no flavor and was oily but the vodka pasta was great. Service was definitely not great

    It’s always nice to go to a restaurant where the servers have personality and are human. The restaurant was so busy with big party after big party and you couldn’t tell Jen kept our water glasses always full and made sure we were always taken care of.
