The food and service were exceptional. Our waiter, James , was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I could say the service was almost too fast. We barely had time to order a drink between courses. Overall it was a great experience. Only negative, I didn’t like the chairs; they were quite uncomfortable. Also, it was a cold and windy night and a gust blew our table every time someone opened the door. Minor issues for such a great meal.

This was my first time at this restaurant. The decor is very inviting, tasteful, and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. Food was fantastic!! The lobster ravioli appetizer was superb 👌-- very flavorful and just enough to activate the palate for the main course. The short rib pappadelle was tasty, but for me it lacked "kick" Great experience overall.

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Our server came right over and took our drink orders. The BlackBerry Sangria was amazing! The bread was delicious and the salad was ok(not a fan of vinegrette). Our steak was prepared as each of us requested. It was delicious! The special sauce was very tasty! Much to our surprise they came around with another round of steak and fries (which my mom and I boxed up as we were full). I highly recommend Medium Rare if you enjoy steak in a nice atmosphere!
