    The food is very good, but we ordered way too much - a mistake we've made in the past. Next time we'll keep in mind the portion sizes. The service is very attentive without being intrusive. This is a place you should definitely check out.

    Really overbooked for Valentine’s Day. 45 minute wait despite having a reservation, didn’t get seen by a server for 20 minutes, and then another hour for our food. Reservations for 8pm and got food at 10. We took it to go. The servers and kitchen staff were doing the best they can and were nice, but management put them in a tough spot to succeed on a busy day. Food was good once we got home and ate it.

    We waited an hour to be seated even with a reservation. After finally getting our table, we sat there for 25 minutes and a waiter never even came to our table. The couple next to us had been waiting over two hours for their food. We decided to leave as to not waste any more of our time. Horrible experience

    They over booked. Given it was Valentine's Day, crowd was expected but even with reservations ahead of time via Open Table, we had to wait an hour to be seated. Unacceptable.

    It was Valentine's Day so one may expect it to be busy. While the server was very nice, it took 35 minutes to get a drink and awhile more to get 1 appetizer. Meals followed longer than it should have been. Food was solid.

    Excellent service and the food was delicious. Portions were a little smaller than other places but very good. They also asked if we were celebrating anything and when we told them it was our anniversary we received a complimentary dessert and Lemoncello shots.
