    Our table wasn’t available with a reservation and waited almost 15mins. Ordered the fried zucchini and eggplant appetizer. Lacked flavor especially salt! My Halibut was overcooked and so was my husband’s red snapper. Gleb was our server and he was very friendly. Overall disappointed!

    Dinner was delicious and our waitress was very attentive. As long as you don’t mind it being a bit noisy you will have a nice time.

    We were seated in lower room which was empty & very cold. Had great waiter who was very attentive and funny. Bread is amazing. Food quantity is great but quality is just okay. It’s a great place for families with kids or those nights you don’t want to drop a fortune and want a decent meal, but for quality, can’t compare to some if the other high end CM restaurants

    We had dinner reservations for a party of 4 and were seated promptly. Two of the guests enjoyed the Salmon special. Another guest had the shrimp and crab with linguine that she described as very good; however, the portion size was small and the dish needed more sauce. The other guest had the pasta and crab dish that was good but would have preferred a more garlicky flavor. The bread was okay. Two of our guests ordered dessert which they enjoyed. The service was very good. The server was attentive but not intrusive.

    We love this restaurant! This was our second night here in a week. The noise was deafening. You couldn’t have a conversation at our table. There was this man at a table behind us that was so loud & rude it made us want to finish dinner & leave. Hopefully something can be done about the noise level.

    Had a birthday dinner here while on vacation - it is very nice inside as it was a church previously. The ceilings are high so voices carry and therefore loud. The food was good and portions are large! They bring bread with olive oil to the table - delicious!! Mozzarella frito is three huge breaded balls of mozzarella with sauce - very good, but cheese was slightly cold. Jersey battered tomatoes with crabmeat was very good! The clam chowder was nicely done with the whole clams in the shell on the broth. The entrees we had were Veal parmigiana, ravioli, and shrimp/crab pasta - all were delicious and very huge; the ravioli had a lot of sauce and the pasta also had too much sauce. They have a selection of desserts, which all seem very rich - we had tiramisu and the peanut butter chocolate cake - both very rich. Overall food was just ok. Our waiter, Gleb was very personable, friendly, and efficient. We would go back again.
