The service was exceptional! My server was helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu and what items made good parings. The manager was aware of ny travel gear and seated me where it was out of the way but I was comfortable.

Our servers were very attentive and we enjoyed our meals (bruschetta, scallops) very much. Pricey, though, and they add an automatic 20% gratuity, although they do point that out rather than hiding it (to their credit).

Our dinner was perfect. For appetizers, we had the sizzling prawns and short riblets. Dinner was the fettuccine pescatore and scallops with asparagus. All were cooked to perfection. The host was very attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty. The godfather was delicious with a bold smokey flavor

Terrific service. Lovely ambiance. Spanish octopus was outstanding. Caesar salad had no anchovies, but otherwise excellent. Husband found the pasta with duck confit delicious. Only criticism was my scallops were a bit bitter, albeit perfectly done.

The service was prompt but you could tell the wait staff was not trained well. We had 3 people coming to our table on & off. Asking us the same questions. One of the waiters was wearing clothing 2 sizes to big for him. They never removed the wine glasses or small plates that we never used so we had a ton of glasses & plates stacked to the side when trying to eat. It was just weird. Food was good but not great as we expected for the price point. We had higher expectations for this restaurant knowing it was supposed to be a more upscale restaurant with the price point on their menu. Unfortunately it fell flat for us. I've never been to a restaurant where they didn't ask us if we would like dessert. We had to ask one of the waitstaff for a dessert menu. But I guess they don't have a dessert menu since he just verbally told us 3 desserts to choose from....lol
