Excellent server. My halibut was tasty, but overdone and mushy. Served with a side of salad on the plate for some strange reason. Branzino also overdone. Good martinis- could have been colder.

Stefani Prime warms up a late winter snowy night. Nothing better than a great drink, short rib ravioli and Pedro as our server. 10 out of 10!

Ask for Carmen. She is great, nice sense of humor, very attentive and she always has the same set of tables in a quiet part of the restaurant. The rest of the restaurant can get quite noisy.

Excellent service by Cassandra. She was extremely attentive and was patient with all our question and needs. Never had to wait for her even though the restaurant was at full capacity. A fish special was bad (striped bass). Rest of food excellent! First time that a special was bad. Chicken parmesan was very good but needed more sauce. Was charged for that which surprised us. Avocado Crab very good. Burrata Barbe was excellent. Salad was fresh, crispy with a nice combination of ingredients. Onion Rings were crisp and tasty. Bread was great. We were not rushed and this was a Saturday night. Enjoyable evening.
