    Our first time and definitely won't be our last. We loved Babylon before Mulino's came to birth at that place. Food was excellent and we brought our own wine which was a great decision.

    We found the restaurant very comfortable and attractive, and the service very attentive. Our two entrees (pasta and salmon, plus a salad) were tasty and well-executed. Free parking on site was a bonus. Definitely worth a try!

    Overall experience was excellent until dessert. The tiramisu was absolute mush. Will go again just won’t order dessert. It was truly enjoyable until then.

    Food and service were excellent as usual. A little noisy but it was a weekend. The tiramisu was small and served in a ramekin and I considered it pricey and just so so.
