Calamari and Mediterranean Chicken were excellent!!! Lobster Cavatappi was ok but not great and definitely not worth the price tag. Restaurant should reconsider the tile floors and chair options. Very loud and annoying.

Wife and I went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful time. Our server came by regularly to check on us and also gave us plenty of time to enjoy our evening, we didn’t feel rushed at all and look forward to coming back soon. The menu has plenty of options to choose from.

Excellent food. Service was great once someone showed up to our table. We were seated and it took 15 minutes before anyone came to the table. After that the service was excellent. They were gracious and comp’d our appetizers to help make up for the wait. Overall the experience was very good.
