    Food and ambience was exception. Possibly the best lasagna I have ever eaten. Server was pleasant but service trailed off a tad as the restaurant filled up. Will definitely be back.

    Loved this restaurant! We were able to sit outside on the lake on a warm October late afternoon. It was stunning! We all ordered from the $44 price fixe dinner menu that offers an app, main and dessert available after 3pm. All were happy with their Caesar & Wedge salads, stuffed mushrooms, salmon, chicken and pasta entrees. The tiramisu is heavenly. The service was excellent as well!

    Just meh. Nothing special here for the prices. Overall weird vibe upon arrival. Waiter was nice enough but was expecting a much more elevated experience. Seems like they are trying to compete with the two other elevated Italian dining establishments in the area. If that’s the case, they have a ways to go…

    This is the second time my husband and I have eaten here for lunch and both times the food and service were excellent. The waiter was very attentive.
