We really enjoyed our dinner here last night. We had excellent service. Our entrees of chicken Marsala and chicken breasts with leeks and a side of pasta were delicious. We had great cocktails too. We like the ambience too. Thanks

We were a party of 2 and seated at a 2 top in an extremely busy area. We were an island surrounded by wait staff. It was very unpleasant. There were other tables available but we could not be seated at them because we were only two people. In the meantime, there was an empty table across from us the whole time we were at the restaurant. I will not return.

My Dad and I dine at your restaurant 3 times per month, on an average. The restaurant offers a wide variety of entrees, appetizers, desserts and drinks. Every dish that we have ordered is delicious including the chicken parm and eggplant combination, the brick chicken, chicken vesuvio, and the linguini with shrimp. Dad and I usually order the minestrone soup as an appetizer and the garlic bread is also delicious! The wait staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and accomodating! The atmosphere has a contemporary vibe but is also family friendly! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a fine dining experience. The restaurant is moderately priced.

I’ve had many good meals in the past we ordered the white fish that couldn’t have been more than 4 ounces. We ordered a side of broccoli. It was cold. It was skimpy. It’s not a good value and the food was not good this evening.
