    Food is pretty good. Service was ok. But it’s really loud!! We could barely hear each other over the live music.

    Wonderful ambiance. Nice and wide menu, plenty if choices. Good craft cocktails. Food was great. Zucchini cake appetizer, Halibut and Lobster Bucatini entrees were all very good.We were there on a Wednesday evening, and at first the service was a bit slow but it picked up and everything worked out well. The live music was great, they just need to work on the volume and acoustics in the room, it was a little loud and sharp, needs a little softening.

    Food was good. Guess is mother’s day and they are super busy and waited quite a bit for the food. Maybe go on a less busy day - maybe their service will be better. Will go back and try again
