        My husband had the squid ink pasta special and I had a burger and fries. We had a cocktail as well. Everything was great and our server was as well.

        Our truffle oil mushroom flatbread was perfect. The bread and butter is always something to look forward to. Our Caesar Salad was wonderful. My husband’s main of filet mignon was perfect, my main of pork chops had to be sent back as they had way too much char that changed the flavor. They remade them and the were much better but not how I have had them in the past. I had a side of Alfredo on linguine that was excellent. They comped the pork chops entree on our bill.

        This was only our second time dining here. An enjoyable evening. Delicious food, fantastic service, and a charming and private corner booth for our Valentine’s dinner. Of course we’ll return.
