    We were very disappointed with our dinner. We have been there many times before but tonight they were a bit off. We had reservations and were 10 minutes early but they sat us quickly. We waited about 10 minutes for our server but he eventually arrived. We ordered our drinks and then our dinner from the summer special menu. I ordered the quarter chicken and my husband ordered the pork. We waited and waited for our dinner which ended up being almost an hour. When our dinner finally came out my chicken was ICE cold in the middle. It was unreal how cold it was. We waited for the server to return which was about 15 minutes and told him it was cold and sent it back. He asked if I wanted something else which I hesitated but ordered the shrimp and steak, with rice. After about 15 minutes it came out with 1 shrimp and 2 pieces of steak the rice was mushy with no taste. I was very disappointed with the food and service. We have eaten there several times and it was always very good. The kitchen was having an off night for sure, service wasn't great either. I asked for a manager and was told they did not have a manager.. well maybe that is your problem. We were there for 2 hours and I left hungry. Still ended up costing $45 and they comp'd my meal. We won't be back.

    It was very loud and hard to hear the music, could hear other people talking. Food was acceptable but not great. The restaurant itself is very pretty inside.

    What a great experience! From beginning to end, Every plate was emptied fresh warm baked bread in a true cooked garlic clove olive oil n spread, calamari cooked to perfection, pistachio crusted warm goat cheese, grilled salmon with wedge salad, chicken piccata with roasted sprouts, t bone in ribeye, filet of sirloin, and the grand finale a limoncello cake for the birthday boy. The just, our server and the incredible entertainment and ambiance made it all worth while!

    I’ve dined here before and knew the food, service (Daniel was excellent) and music would be great but I’m always appreciative of a hostess accommodating a request such as moving my group to a quieter corner so my guests and I could still enjoy the music but easily have conversation.
