Customer Reviews
This restaurant is phenomenal!! Such a beautiful, romantic place with great food, music, and service. My Fiancé and I spent our anniversary here and loved every second! We were greeted by our amazing server Rob, he was very warm and welcoming. He gave incredible suggestions and was highly descriptive of all menu items. We knew the food would be great by the smell alone but my goodness these pasta dishes were perfection!

Came in for a birthday dinner for a party of 8, food was good as usual and service was great. However, we apparently overstayed our welcome (5pm reservation, out the door at ~715pm) with the general manager clearing the table while we were eating dessert and taking the check before our party could sort out the bill and did not even say thank you for coming in. Also began clearing desserts, including the birthday person, while we were still eating. Unfortunately will likely be our last visit here after several years of coming as this was unbelievably rude. Check was ~$660 and still left $125 for our server (Rob) even after the overwhelming rudeness of the manager. Worth considering if coming here with a larger party. Edited based on owner response: We arrived at 5:01, one couple arrived a
