My son and I really enjoyed the food and service and although we did not eat on the balcony I think it would be very romantic for a couple to enjoy, weather permitting. Had the ravioli which was quite delicious!!

All diners enjoyed their salads & entrees, be sure to ask your server if the salad you’re interested in can be “shared” with another diner, we had some confusion over that issue. The gentleman at the bar downstairs while we were waiting for our table was extremely knowledgeable about the details of all of the house entrees!!! We all learned a lot from him!!! Thank you!!!

Would recommend to anyone local or visiting.
