    Food and service were excellent! The antipasti including water crest salad and prosciutto were delicious. The homemade pasta with rabbit and wild board were outstanding. We definitely will be back.

    The entire dining experience was one of the best I've had in a long time, and I eat at very wonderful places. Ample parking, cozy atmosphere. The house white wine that evening was a new choice and it was very smooth. The Ceasar Salad was perfect, the eggplant in the harissa sauce just blended in my mouth, but the best of show was definitely the bass special. crispy, perfectly cooked, sauce just light enough but still flavorful, and the wonderful touch of the gnocchi was unique and I enjoyed how they just melted in my mouth. BUT, I am definitely a DESSERT lover and when I saw there was Sticky Toffee Pudding on the menu I probably might just have had the wonderful looking fries to save room for this dessert. It was perfect, steamy warm, with a scoop of vanilla, topped with drizzles of toffee sauce. Hmmm...

    The food for Thanksgiving was very good and the quantity of food was also good. The only negative was I couldn’t find the front door where valet parking was because my navigation took me to the rear door

    Food was great. I love their pasta and we really enjoyed all of our appetizers as well. Service was meh. We had to wait in the cold until our whole party had arrived - not even got offered to sit at the bar in a completely empty place. Also at a $400 tab, I expect not getting the check handed in a machine like ordering a $5 latte...
