The short ribs had an off putting taste and the lamb chops were tough. The New York strip was the only good dish in our party.

The prices are much too high. We had a fish of the day, which was scallops, but the plate was primarily pasta.

Appetizers great, wine selection solid, service just right. The entrées, however, were overpriced and underwhelming. The carbonara closer to an alfredo with meager bits of prosciutto. The flavor profile was shallow and disappointing. It was not terrible, but it was not worth the price.

I brought my adult daughters here after not having been here in literally decades. It was still the same, great service, professional and the food was delicious. I know it's more of a date night thing, but it was wonderful to have a nice dinner with my daughters after Christmas shopping. I highly recommend.
