    Our server Mike didn’t seem to be as attentive as need be as we had drinks left empty and he walked by the table a few times without asking if we wanted anything else. Also, when it came time to get the bill, he spent upwards of 15 mins telling stories with another table as we waited for our bill. Food was very good, service and attention to detail by our server certainly could have been better

    Cole was excellent - he was so personable and enjoyable and he took very good care of us. Four of us 'special ordered' and he was so accommodating. The salmon was cooked to perfection and was so tasty. We all agreed it was delicious! Thank you for another memorable Italian by Night experience!
