    Our experience was, as always, delightful. From the reservation process online, and calling the host/ess to say we were running 5-10 minutes late through paying our bill, everything was fabulous. Servers and expeditors/support staff are top notch! Personable, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, and responsive. Even servers we have had before (but were not assigned to us) greeted us warmly and chatted briefly. The food was exceptional. My hubs and I split a special - rotisserie smoked New York steak and the romaine salad. Our grand had the kids rotisserie chicken. Everything was delivered hot and delicious. Bread, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar are always a hit. Water glasses were always topped off and cocktails and wine were perfect. Love the ambiance and various places to sit (outdoors, garden room, bar, dining room, and now it appears there is a bar facing the kitchen. Consistently great.

    This restaurant offers an enchanting and romantic atmosphere, made even more special by the delightful 3-piece band playing live music. The decor is absolutely stunning, adding to the overall ambiance. The food was exceptional, with the funghi appetizer and pancetta-wrapped prawns stealing the show—both perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The fresh-baked bread is a real plus. For our mains, we enjoyed the marsala pasta and the ragu. Both dishes were rich, hearty, and served in generous portions. This dining experience was truly memorable, and we can’t wait to return!
