Been a while since my bride and I dined at this fine establishment due to how incredibly loud the noise levels are. Setting that aside, the food is incredibly good and of high quality. From the meatballs appetizer and table side presentation of the Caesar Salad to the remarkable 44OZ BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA, what a treat. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, but what came was a block of goodness enough for 4. Finally, the service team was exceptionally effective.

The holiday decor is amazing. Service was great. Service and someone else who checked in on us were friendly and attentive. We went after the holiday for brunch so it was a little quiet for the neighborhood. I;m sure it's more lively at other times. A few normal breakfast type items and a few kinda sweet breakfast items. I had a nice mocktail.
