    We were greeted by an attentive waiter. The wife kicked off the night with the “Wish Me Luck” cocktail, to which the waiter responded, “Good luck.” For appetizers, we had the arugula salad, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. For the main course, I had the Fettuccine Avanti, and she had the Chicken Parm, which was a big hit.

    Had the weekly chef special Monday night, lobster, shrimp and muscles over pasta and at the waiter’s suggestion changed it up a bit with spicy marinara sauce for my taste and it was amazing. Half price bottles of wine on Sunday and Monday make it all the better.
