    Great choices, family friendly. I had the trio. Enjoyed pasta and chicken parm but not a fan of the lasagna. The bread, salad and wedding soup were really good but was very full by the time Entree arrived. Desserts were nothing to write home about. Overall, good quantity of food for $$, great service and a great atmosphere for kids!

    Pasta was cold, sent it back and the dish came back still cold. We have been at this Resturant before when the pasta was cold and didn’t have any flavour.

    Pasta was very watery and chicken sandwich was not made as requested. Then remade and even worse.

    Very friendly and accommodating experience. Service was excellent. Great children's menu including their "special" drinks. Our 7-year-old grandson was even entertained and sat in his seat the whole time (not our usual experience). We will definitely be back.

    We came for the kids New Year’s Eve party, and to say I was impressed with being an understatement. The restaurant had thought of everything! My kids had an outstanding time. We will certainly be back next year! Happy 2025!
