    First time here and we will definitely be going back… I’m a vegetarian and tweaked one of the dishes. They are fabulous with any special orders. The drinks are delicious as well. Waiter was very attentive and went above and beyond.

    The portions were large. The pasta al dente. The seating was not immediate, even though we had a reservation. The supporting wait staff was attentive. However, the entire experience was colored by our waiter, who was very arrogant; to the point of throwing our dessert menu at us. When I questioned what the last item on the desert menu was, he was super arrogant. Unbelievable.

    We had a very pleasant dinner with good cocktails, appetizers, dinner entrées, bottle of wine and dessert. A nice full night. Our servers were very good and attentive. There were a lot of good menu items that we liked so we will be returning to try more of them.

    Food was great! Our server was good when he was around, but disappeared regularly and never came back with our check.

    The service to all the appetizers and our meals were great. The waiter was very good, along with bread at the table was very warm. The drinks were served with no issues and our desserts and coffee were very good.

    I booked a table for 7 pm and as we were early we went to the bar. We sat for 10 minutes and were totally ignored. Then a couple came in and sat at the next y2 seats. The bartender?( for want of a better word) immediately brought them place mats and silverware. When i pointed out that we’d been sitting there for 10 minutes, he apologized and brought some for us. He then disappeared and, on return, took their drinks order and left us waiting again. By this time it was time to get our table anyway. I went to the hostess and my name was not in the list, even though i had confirmation on my phone. She said were no tables free in the dining room but there were 2 high tops by the bar. When she confirmed that were we to sit there, our order would be taken by the “bartender”, we promptly left. The most disgusting experience i’ve ever had at a restaurant. You have been warned.
