I’ve really tried to like this place. Everything from the drinks to the food was terrible. We had reservations but clearly didn’t need them. I will not be going back.

First time going! I thought the ambiance was great. It was a slow night so we were in a booth in the dining section, although I had requested on Open table for a high top. (This wasn’t offered when I arrived) but fine. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive. Even better was the price! We left full and still had plenty to bring home. We will be back.

Had a reservation at 5 and were seated quickly. Upon sitting at our table I noticed my napkin was stained and had hair on it. The waitress was very nice however it took 25 minutes to get our drinks, and she didn’t bring my son’s water I had to ask for it 3 times . We didn’t get bread until right before our food came out . the food came out quick but was comparable to a frozen Olive Garden type meal. Waitress never came to ask if we needed anything until we were almost done with our meal.There were three adults and one child .we ordered three sodas and a Prosecco my son got a water. I realize this is peanuts but we were charged for four sodas and the menu said the Prosecco was $14 a glass and they charged me 16 on the bill. It was corrected and again I realize this is a small amount of money, but just being that the overall experience was bad besides that I wasn’t pleased. I definitely will not be going back.

Amazing, the best homemade lasagna I’ve ever had. The marinara is slow cooked for 35 hours only available on Monday and Tuesday. I can’t wait to return for a special occasion or dinner with family soon and try the wine tasting at their East Winds Vineyard.
