    It was absolutely a fantastic experience. We all had so much fun and the food was amazing. We got seated in a private room with a fireplace making it feel so special. This was our second visit and can see more visits in the future. The Birthday wishes and thank you note was certainly a special touch and appreciated.

    Service was great and our service was very attentive, quick, and helpful. The only negative was we were seated at a high-top table and the chairs were extremely uncomfortable.

    10/10 experience, as always! One of our favorite places in town. They recently updated their menu “summer menu” and we tried a few new dishes - outstanding! Great service, excellent food, relaxing atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back again. This place never disappoints

    Hard to rate the overall experience for 4 guests, but wanted to be honest since when one friend has a bad food experience: it affects us all. However all the staff & management should be congratulated for not only making us feel welcome throughout, they made it right for us all. Especially considering the crowd from prom night, etc. we were impressed with the extra time & consideration that was given to us. If it wasn’t for one meal disappointment (filet & veggie were cold but potatoes were hot),the rest of us agreed the food was very good especially the smoked appetizer assortment & the flat breads! The desserts were enjoyable in that they weren’t sweet but flavorful. Wish the Sangiovese was available that was advertised. Might want to educate the servers on wines & how to pour the 1st glass. Takes time: we know. Overall we had a great night out for my b day!
