Our party arrived sporadically because we were surprising our mom for her birthday. Damian was so accommodating while seating us and helping us prepare the surprise. Our server Brittany was so attentive while also being the bartender for the rest of the restaurant! We had a great meal and cannot wait to dine again!

This was a major let down, Wtever food we ordered was not up to the mark in terms of taste. But what prompted me to write this review was awful Chicken Piccata, it was two slices of non breaded overcooked chicken with laughable amount of spaghetti on the side ( it was so less that we all started looking at each other and laughed). I think they have haired bunch of high school age kids which is great but they need training. Also they charged us $1 extra for both main dishes and $22 for 9oz of wine that I order instead of $18 listed price. Realized that after we had left.

Dino was gracious and very generous. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. We had a 10-people party, celebrating my son’s graduation from Brown. The food was delicious and plenty. From appetizers to main course to desserts, all very good. It was definitely a great evening to remember!
