Drew was our waiter, fantastic service! Lisa came to the table to make sure we were happy, and Vincent and others came by to offer service if we needed it. This was a wonderful evening to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Sea bass was so flavorful, perfectly prepared. I usually dony like the skin of a fish dish, but the flavor was so delcious, slightly grilled and perfectly seasoned, so I didn't discriminate. The broccolini was delicious with truffle oil and salt and pepper seasonings. My friend loved her Chicken Marsala, and my dad really enjoyed his pork chops. We all went crazy over Caeser salads and especially the Arencini appetizer. The bread is so flavorful and fresh. Outstanding attention to an excellent customer experience. We truly felt like VIPs. Amazing! Thank you so much!
