The place has been modernized with nice floors and more than expanded bar as you can Meyer. Looks really nice. I think that all of hey are waiting for is some additional ceiling acoustical tiles. The noise lev l seems to have improved with time he new ownership. From a wonderful smoked Gouda or calamari to to the chicken parm, the wonderful stuffed pork chop to deserts of crème brûlée and a glass of Merlot the meal lived up to our meal for six’s high standards. The wait staff was excellent and attentive and made sure that one of our guest’s allergies was properly accommodated during dinner preparation. Oh, and did I forget to mention that on a rainy night there was complimentary valet parking and we were never rushed to leave as we sat around to catch up with each other. Overall we were very pleased and will return yet again soon.

They've changed it from what used to be an elegant dining experience to an average experience. They did renovate the restaurant , but the tables are all on top of each other and because of that you feel like you're dining with the strangers on each side of you. The chicken Marsala didn't have a hint of Marsala taste. We're sad to say we will not be returning there.
