Customer Reviews
I had my daughter’s bridal shower here august 2025 and let’s just say I’m a tough critique as well as my family. They made me feel at ease and exceeded my highest expectations. Food was terrific, the staff, personable and management beyond accommodating, friendly helpful and made a lasting impressions on everyone that attended. Everyone still says how terrific it was! Thank you from all of us for a beautiful memory I’ll be back, Lucia P.
This place is unbelievably inconsistent, and unfortunately dinner service is where it completely falls apart. We were seated upstairs on a night when the restaurant was practically empty — only two other tables up there — yet service was painfully slow and chaotic. One server was running all over the place, and when we tried to order, we were told that because they were so busy, we needed to order our appetizer and entrées at the same time. That made absolutely no sense given how empty the dining room was. This isn’t the first time my husband and I have received horrible dinner service either. The food was just as bad. The espresso martini was undrinkable — it tasted like a plain cup of coffee with zero balance. My husband’s Italian mule tasted like it had been drowned in straight vodka.
Very nice Italian restaurant, they provide complementary bread and salad before the meal. delicious food, beautiful environment, the staff are also very nice, we have a very nice family gathering dinner here.
I ordered the blackened salmon with salad, and my girlfriend had the swordfish which had a sauce made with diced eggplant, peppers, and mushrooms. It was delicious. I enjoyed my salmon as well. This is not a BYOB restaurant, we did sit in the bar area bs the other side which has a better atmosphere The only reason for the three stars is that I feel like the bar area table set up and area its self could be prettier. 16-18 dollar for meal (lunch prices).
Food was good but seemed expensive for what we got. My entree was fettuccine with shrimp, scallops and lobster. I asked if they were the large scallops, as I don't care for the small scallops, and the server said yes, indicating a large size. Well, they may have taken one large scallop and a very sharp knife, and sliced dime-thin pieces out of half of it. The flavor and unique texture were lost. With tip I ended up spending $50, leaving with the thought I could make the dish better myself with ingredients from Trader Joe's.
