We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. When we arrived at our table it was decorated with subdued birthday confetti. The service team was excellent and our needs were addressed before we even knew we needed something. The wine was excellent and the food was delicious. We started with the eggplant rotini. I had the scallops , my wife had Mediterranean chicken and her son had the veal Parmesan. All were prepared well and served hot. It was our first time there and we will be back!
