    Thank you great overall. Salad was very small portions. And ceasar was warm on a hot plate. That’s the only thing. Ceasar’s used to be played on cold plates.

    We've been to a few spots in the area for Valentine's Day now and this was by far the best. Our server knocked it out of the park, the filet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the affogato she got made me jealous, which is saying something because the tiramisu I had was perfect. We both left happy.

    It was our first time to this restaurant. We had a reservation and we were put in a back room. Not a fan of the lighting. Felt like being in a cafeteria. And it was very cold in there. Room kind of feels Like an afterthought. Not as charming as the Main dining room. Service started out very slow. I had to ask three times for the wine list. They appeared understaffed. When Mario finally made it to our table, he was wonderful. Knowledgeable, engaging. He made up for the long wait. Food presentation was good. Lamb chops were delicious. Red sauce gave my husband heartburn, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault:) overall good experience. Though we wish they had pizza.

    Outstanding! Our first visit but other four guest come about 4 times a year. While pricey, the drinks and food are outstanding. The staff is very attentive, knowledgeable and fun. New go-to when we visit the area.
