    Food and Service were both Fantastic. The Tuna Appetizer was delicious and my Filet was cooked perfectly well seasoned and one of the best I have had in a long time. The Old Fashioned was on point. Our Waitress Kat was great very attentive and really sweet. A + i will be coming back in the near future.

    We had a very nice Valentine Day dinner off the special menu. We had the Oysters Rockerfeller, they were not traditional but very good. The heart shaped ravioli were delicious. The mains were lobster tails and steak au povire. The mains were very good, I just wish the steak was a tad more tender. Portions were generous and we took some home. Our waitress was fabulous. Great place.

    Once again, a wonderfully, great restaurant and experience. Great place for celebrating a holiday. Dinner was great, service was great and we were not rushed. Restaurant offered chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, nice touch. Outstanding baked clams oreganata and ceasar salad, my favorite!
