Positives: owners and staff always are pleasant and seek to please patronsp. Also expansion room very well done and comfy. Negatives: took almost one hour to get our dinners. Portions seem smaller. Because it took so long to get our food we didn’t want to spend another hour for desert. Staff didn’t seem pleased we passed on desert. Overall: seems they are still working on how to handle a larger clientele with the expansion.

We enjoyed our dinner very much. There are 2 rooms for seating. We ate in the quieter room. The room was decorated nicely for Christmas. We ordered 2 specials .. lamb chops and seafood fettuccine. Both were very good. All n all we had a great night.

They had a big party going on so they sat us away from the noise, which we both appreciated! The service was very good. We shared the buratta with fig, which was delicious! My friend had the shrimp dish, which she enjoyed and I had the chicken with fennel which was large so I ended up taking half home. We shared a dessert, which was wonderful! I will return looking forward to my next meal!

I celebrated my lady's birthday. Everyone was nice. The servers. The cook. Helping me celebrate a beautiful birthday with a special request of cheesecake and her birthday age written nicely on the plate. The food was excellent. B.Y.O.B. was an amazing experience. Very elegant. Highly recommended. Thank you for everything!
