                      The food smells great, but this place is not at all vegetarian friendly. If you have dietary restrictions, the waiter warns you that they might not be able to accommodate you. I probably won't be back because of this.

                      I ordered the scallops with risotto. From what I could tell, there were four scallops and less than a cup of risotto. The price was $46!! I do not feel I got my money’s worth! The ambience and service were wonderful, but it was so loud we could not hear each other talk!

                      We had a great time. The food was excellent!!! The server was amazing, checked in but gave us lots of privacy to talk. I highly recommend this place. It was my first time but I would go again. We made a reservation ahead of time and that worked out great.

                      This has become our favorite place to eat out. Everything we have tried has always been absolutely delicious. Staff works their butts off and always do a great job. They could probably use a couple more servers but that is not a complaint at all. Would highly recommend if you are any where near the area. You won’t be disappointed.
