Had a lovely dinner at a table by the window, the service was excellent and the manager came by to say hello to my wife and I. We saw the Magic of Motown at the Colonial Theatre after dinner, and it was a very short walk.

Absolutely incredible. I went for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend and it was well worth the steep price. We had the fresh Burrata as our appetizer, she had the Fettuccine Bolognese, I had the Saered Scallops, and we got 2 desserts… the Coffee Gelato and the Crema di Boston. Food was awesome, server was attentive and nice, but the best part was the ambiance and the view. My god. Super awesome experience!
