    Our waiter, Jacob, was outstanding! He gave us great recommendations from the menu, was extremely attentive, and even surprised us with a wonderful dessert to help us celebrate our baby moon. The food was outstanding, great ambiance, and probably one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I used as gift certificate toward a date night dinner. We were able to make an early reservation with short notice. We enjoyed the ambiance, although I was not a big fan of the music. Fortunately it was not so loud that we couldn’t hear ourselves talk. Our waitress Cindy was truly outstanding/awesome/exceptional/there are not enough superlative adjectives for her. The menu had an excellent selection. My husband had the scallops and I had the branzino, plus a pasta and vegetable selection. It was all delicious but too salty for me; the branzino was so salty I could barely eat it. In the future I will ask for no added salt to my food. What’s happened to the restaurants where salt and pepper was put at the table and one seasoned it to one’s own taste?
