    From the greeters at the front door to our excellent waitress who served the most delectable meal, everything was outstanding. The tables are a bit close together but overall it was a great night.

    Ronnie was excellent and does a superior job. The chicken parm was bad and we sent it back and they only deducted 1/2 off the entree. We are repeat customers and we’re not happy with that and management did not address this. Other meals were fine. The upstairs was cold and drafty so we had to use our coats and that took away from the experience. We like this restaurant but may not comeback as often especially in the cold weather.

    Delicious food in a lovely setting with impeccable service. Fried zucchini app is a standout. The signature salad was perfection. Shrimp/scallops on ravioli outstanding. It is a bit hard to chat because of noise level but not enough to keep us from returning.
