    We had a fun time and a great meal. My husband had the Gnocchi Carbonara, and I had Chicken Giardineira from the lighter menu. The flavors were fantastic! The chicken was really tender, the sauce was light, the vegetables were slightly crunchy and tangy. The small amount of pasta was just right, so it wasn't too filling. I am the wine lover of our family, while my husband prefers good beer. The only style he doesn't care for is IPAs, but that was the only option on draft. He ended up having wine with dinner, but it would be nice if you had a wider selection of craft beers.

    First time visiting. We were very impressed with our waiter and the staff in general. Our food came promptly and was delicious. I was extremely impressed with the portions and how our meal was presented. The staff, including a manager, stopped by and check on everything throughout our time there. But we didn’t feel rushed, which can happen on an early dinner on a Saturday evening. We will be back.
