We sat on the patio, and there was a roaming violin player who would ask for requests from an extensive list. Along with the excellent service and delicious food, it made for an extra special experience.

Salmon was good. Salad was overdressed. Penne with peas and prosciutto was good albeit very rich. Parmesan and oil were to die for. Coffee was muddy and needs to be made fresh not served if it’s been sitting. Service excellent.

Slow service. Every time I ask for something, it took 10-15 min to get it. This happened on a Monday night. Good number of clients but not too busy. Food was average. Good presentation but missing that fine teste you would expect from a nice place.

Went here for lunch with a friend and we both ordered a panini sandwich. They were excellent. This is a nice quiet little restaurant where you're able to talk with friends and apparently I'm not the only one that thinks so because the restaurant was really filled with groups of people who just were meeting up for lunch. I would definitely go here for dinner with my husband.

This place has such great food. And the staff is wonderful. I do wish they would elevate the service just a little bit to match the how good the food is and the price point. I think when entrees come out they should be set in front of the person who ordered them without anyone having to ask who ordered it (use of seat numbers). I have also seen plates stacked on the table as they are being cleared so that the person can take many at one time. Drinks should come out on a tray, even just one or two. These small points would really elevate the diners’ experience. However, don’t let them stop you going there, it really is a treat.

Birthday dinner, but no one asked. It was busy given it was the Friday of Mother’s Day weekend, but service was quite slow. They were accommodating of my shellfish allergy but were not particularly friendly.

Amazing atmosphere, service, great food and drinks at a decent price. You get what you paid for. 100% going back and it’s an hour away from my front door.
