We have been to this Restaurant before, good night out, food was delicious and quick to hit the table. A bit noisy in there, however the restaurant was full. Definitely a return visit.

Beer, wine and cocktails- perfect. We ordered two salads, both were to our liking, with dressing on the side as we requested. The shrimp & beans appetizer is delicious, and made a perfect meal along with a side of vegetable of the day. Pasta dish with grilled chicken added was very tasty. We also ordered baked fish, and substituted pasta for the potatoes. I like that the chef accommodates special requests. And our waitress was attentive, despite it being a busy evening. Highly recommend!

The food was good but we were seated next to a large party of at least 50 people. The party was some sort of family celebration. We were a foot away from all the raucous crowd. We couldn’t even hear ourselves talking. The couple behind us moved to the bar but there weren’t enough seats for us to move. I will never go there again!

Our experience was greatly affected by the fact that there was a function of over 30 people held in the main dining area. This included adults as well as children. The atmosphere was that of a party and very loud. It made it difficult for us to enjoy conversation with those we were dining with. With that being said, our food was good and our server was very good.

The service and food were outstanding. I had the Chicken/Eggplant Napoleon with angel hair, it was the best. All four of us enjoyed our meals. Our server was the best I have had in a long time. Definitely going back.

Cocktails we perfectly made. Shrimp and beans appetizer and sausage and beans appetizer were delicious. We also ordered two pasta dishes, both amazing. And the desserts- red velvet cheesecake, affogato and tiramisu were yummy. Our waitress was helpful and attentive, despite it being a very busy night for graduation parties.
