The food was excellent. I had the ribeye and it was fabulous. Better than any I have had at any other restaurant*** Our server, Brennon, was awesome. He checked on us often but didn't continuously bother us while we were visiting. This is a great place when you really want to visit with those you love and celebrate life. The owner, Cristiano, stopped by the table twice to check on us and the food. It was an excellent celebration.

Everything was great at the restaurant but for some reason the restaurant did not have our OpenTable reservation. We were still seated but I am concerned that the reservation didn’t go through from OoenTable(?)
