Hostess was nice. She did acknowledged it was our 29th wedding anniversary, although, it was not passed to our server. When I reserved the table, it asked if this reservation was a special occasion, which I did. I wish my 29th wedding anniversary for my wife and I was mentioned by the server. As for the meals, the Salmon Special was excellent. It was cooked very well. Potatoes were smooth and creamy. Vegetable was delicious. The Chicken Parm was very good. Chicken was moist. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was good although there was a bit too much sauce on the plate. As for the server, Desi was polite and responsive to our table.
