    We took our granddaughter there for her birthday and Christmas get together. Our waiter was excellent ! The food was excellent! We had the meatballs, chopped salad, salmon, chicken parm, and pesto genovese! The caramalized cheesecake for dessert was wonderful! Wonderful experience !

    We arrived at the restaurant at 4:00pm per our reservation and there were already several tables seated (the restaurant opened at 4- so this was a bit surprising. Did not know we could have entered sooner). In my reservation, I asked to be near a lot of light since one of our party is mostly blind- and extra light helps her. The staff never acknowledged that request and the best lighted table had already been given to another group. What's the point of asking for special needs if you don't acknowledge them?

    Had a decent meal the time before. So decided to go back. This time I ordered the short rib garganelli. It tasted like someone just pour an entire glass of wine over it when they plate it. So much alcohol that’s not cooked off, it’s like eating pasta that’s just dipped in wine. Absolutely horrible tasting. On the plus side, the server offer to expedite another dish for me. But my appetite was ruined. So just ended up having an appetizer meatballs. Which was ok. Nothing spectacular though. However, the grilled bread that came with the meatballs was so burnt that’s giving out an unpleasant smell and it’s not edible (one side of it is like charcoals). Absolute disaster…. Don’t think I’ll go back again.
