    Our server was Joey H. He is a very personable guy who knows the menu well. All of our food was delicious. From the filet mignon cooked to perfection, the Brussels sprouts, roasted cauliflower, antipasto salad, meat ball appetizer and the special Dover Sole were amazing. The scallop risotto was creamy and delicious! For dessert the choc caramel pudding and the pistachio cake finished off the night with sweetness. No matter what you order … it will be delicious. The owners are present and always working hard to ensure their customers are well taken care of. Beautiful atmosphere in their restaurant with great attention to detail.
