    Saturday nite dinner with friends. We were seated promptly after being offered a chance to have cocktails first. Aubrey was our waitress very attentive. Food recommendations were great. We had Blackened Haddock, Steak Delmonico, Ahi Tuna and Coconut Shrimp. All Delicious. We will be back.

    Our service was excellent! Loved the ambience, the music, the food & the drinks were top notch. Wish the water fall and the fire place were operating, that would have added another level to the experience. Highly recommend.

    The ambiance was nice but we were given a booth where the lighting was too bright. We would've preferred the dimmer table-setting but being our first time there, we didn't know to ask. The service was wonderful, the piano was a nice touch. Most of the food was outstanding. I did get lasagna and it was so bad I couldn't even eat it. That has never happened to me before and I wouldn't expect it to be so bad at an Italian restaurant. I would say it was a bit overpriced considering the entrees did not include a soup or salad. We would like to go back again, but I think I'll go for the steak next time.
