    The meal was delicious. My favorite entree at our table was the curry. Wonderful flavor. The desserts were also marvelous with the apple flombe being the best of the three we tried.

    Amazing dinner. The squid ink pasta special was delicious, the gnocchi were outstanding. Alan was an exceptional server. Loved that the chef stopped by the table to see how everything was. Definitely will be going back.

    We had a lovely, delicious dinner. The service was excellent, and we appreciated the chef’s friendly inquiry about the quality of our food. We will be back.

    Just not for us. Value for food was subpar. Food was a little too over flavored and made it too rich for our pallets. Crowd was a little more on senior end as well.
