    The ambiance of the restaurant was great, there was a nice bar downstairs off the dining room, however, we arrived at 6:15 for 6:30 reservations, nearly half the bar had "reserved" on the seats, which it turns out was the owner, reserving seats for friends. No one sat in those seats for the 20 minutes or so we were at the bar and I wasn't allowed to even sit in one of the seats just to have a drink with my wife (who was sitting in the only non reserved open seat), while we waited for a table. That sort of put me off a bit. I understand reserving seats, but if someone's there to have a drink before dinner, is it that big a deal to let him sit down in the seat? If the people that they were reserved for showed up, I, and I believe anyone else, would have quickly relinquished the seat. He's the owner and he can do what he wants, but that was a bit off putting to me and tainted our overall experience.

    Service was a little off with our waiter forgetting our wine and what someone ordered for dinner. Food was extremely overpriced. I understand well prepared food is expensive but this seemed extreme, especially for the so so service. Food was exceptional.

    We sat at the bar. It is an inviting place with efficient and friendly bartenders. The menu is expansive, and the specialties of the house draw your attention.

    Experience started very well and quickly went downhill. Celebrating wedding anniversary and very friendly owner and server came by table for welcome. Placed order relatively quickly for drinks and meal and then things went south. Appetizers took over almost 40 minutes to arrive. Owner and server apologized but it definitely affected the pace and mood of our dinner. The appetizers were good (pasta and soup). Then our dinner was also delayed and another round of apologies. By time dinner arrived we weren't that hungry anymore and my filet of sole was not good at all so I didn't eat it. I didn't actively complain but when asked if everything ok because I didn't eat it I was honest and said I didn't care for the dish. I was offered something else but mood to eat and wait more time had passed. The attitude of server went from friendly to brusque and a bit annoyed. Owner was still friendly but not as much anymore. The owner did proactively remove the sole dish from our bill. We didn't order dessert as too tired and getting late. The restaurant is charming and well regarded so it was unfortunate that we had a poor experience.

    The food and services are excellent. Tables are a bit too close to one another. Best to use the valet parking. Not much parking in street.

    We went here for our wedding anniversary and as soon as we walked in the door and gave our name, we were greeted by the manager or owner who knew it was our anniversary and he made sure we had a great table. The food was amazing! We had scallops and chicken parmesan. We also enjoyed dessert and they wrote "happy anniversary" on the plate. Overall, it was a great experience!! We will definitely go back!
