We were there early (4 pm) and it was rather quiet. By the time we left at 6 it was full and a bit louder but still okay to have a conversation. This is my second time there and everything was delicious! Our table had the Greek lasagna, pasta primavera, chicken kabobs, sweet potato gnocchi, and sausage ravioli. Fresh beet appetizer is amazing. Chopped salad was delicious too. For dessert the limoncello cake was very good! Great service, delicious food. Reservations are a must unless you go in an off time or maybe during the week. Both times I’ve been there you would need a reservation.

Christmas Eve was bustling, so human noise expected. For us, the music was a tad loud. Wonderful way to spend an evening, though. We always enjoy the camaraderie of owners and staff.
