We celebrated our anniversary here and the service was top tier despite them being very busy. The food was delicious and has smaller portion sizes, so you can enjoy an appetizer, entree, and dessert and be satisfied.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating ~ they did a great job making our anniversary feel special and celebrated. Our server Jennifer was attentive and helpful. As other reviewers have mentioned, the one drawback of this restaurant would be the food. We tried 4 dishes (mushroom tagliatelle, carbonara, sea salt bread, oysters) and only the tagliatelle was worth writing home about. The only thing I would want improved about my experience would be the quality of dishes. Vast wine collection ~ we went with a featured wine that we enjoyed! Overall, great experience and would recommend trying out.
