Awesome Cod dinner !! Service was “on point “ our Server was there when needed . Perfect service to match an amazing dinner . Although It became very loud , and while sitting close to my friend , we could barely hear one another . ( understood that Ante Prima is popular ! We all love ❤️❤️ your food !!) My only request would be is to make additional adjustments to defer the noise . Noticed the ceiling fixtures to absorb sound . Maybe add a few additional. I / we will return ! Btw : you have a great hostess , who is always gracious and friendly .
