    The food is always oustanding. Everything was prepared skillfully and with care. We were 4 people so we had 4 different entrees. One salad the Tuna Pizza's of course and shred the Scallop and Mushroom Rissoto as a 1st. Scallops were top quality and it was great.

    We had a great meal, but the visit was ruined by very loud and obnoxious people. They sat us in the back room in a corner and it was so loud, I couldn’t even think. The waiter said another couple had left, he attempted to move us but got busy. It was an 8:30pm sitting, so certainly a better spot for two could have been found. The host should know their space better, I would never be sat there again if we return. Unfortunate because the food was delicious.
