Our server Jon A made our first visit here wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about all the dishes and the drinks! He made us feel welcome. The food was out of this world wonderful! Definitely try their swordfish and lasagna! But save room for that lemon brueled tart with blueberry sauce. The cocktails were a hit. As well as the risotto balls that we feel were the best we ever had. You absolutely must make a reservation or you won’t get in. The place is packed. But with this wonderful overall experience we can see why!
