    Service was great. Food was underwhelming and lacking flavor. The drinks and free bread were good though. We also really enjoyed the veal ravioli

    Always a great place for a pre-theater dinner. Valet is very convenient. and Joe is a terrific server. He (and we ) had a couple of issues with the kitchen's inability to follow a couple of easy changes to our orders--broccoli was not thoroughly cooked, which has been a problem in the past, and bringing that huge baked potato in a larger bowl. Joe handled these issues with grace and efficiency, but, these issues should not have happened. On a positive note, the quality of the food, as it always is, excellent

    After traveling to NC, we enjoyed our Easter Sunday dinner here and everything was next to perfection. The service was impeccable. Our server, Caitlin, was outstanding. The food was delicious (and the chocolate cake dessert melts in your mouth!). The award-winning wine list is extensive such that you can most likely find something to match your taste and price range. Overall, a wonderful experience. I'm glad I thought of it as an addition to our itinerary.

    A bit quieter evening than typical for Saturday evening with Easter the next day. Wait staff was superb, friendly, and timely. Filets were perfect! Wine also amazing!

    One of our favorite spots…We enjoyed Happy Hour outside on the covered patio with a great view of the river and Battleship. Service was excellent and the cocktails superb. I had the Osso Buco Ravioli, it is divine! The other diners had the tenderloin sandwich and hamburger, both said they were cooked as ordered and delicious.

    Overall couldn't ask for better night, Shelly did a wonderful job. Answering questions, checked in frequently on us, we never had a glass run dry or ran out of tasty bread. It was the first time our friend got to visit this place, happy to have made it a wonderful experience. Couldn't have had a better server, delighted and hope to get her again when we visit again at a later date.
