    There were four of us for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the service and the food was delicious. We had a 615 reservation and we’re finishing up our meal by 7:45. Unfortunately we weren’t able to enjoy any cappuccino because they had no milk and there were several others in the dining room that requested it as well. It was unfortunate and disappointing.

    Shrimp cocktail was waaaay overcooked and seemed cook on a prior date. Waiter brought the wrong entree which I chose to keep - but charged us at the price of the more expensive one that I didn't receive. Also charged same prices that they charge on GrubHub - not as on their website (which was $6 cheaper) - I dont recall what the menu said - but I believe it matched their website menu. No water refill until dessert came. Never offered a second round of drinks. Didn't check on how our meals were. No pepper offered, no salt/pepper on tables. Chocolate mousse was dry and ice cold - obviously done waaay in advance and refrigerated (no lovely orange taste to it which is traditional- no longer creamy). Gave free coffee only after seeing me stare at the bill which just balanced the overcharge - it didn't give anything to make up for it. One coffee was an espresso which was bad/sour. Really shocked by this experience. Not so happy anniversary to me.

    A great Italian meal that I will surely come back to and try the rest of the menu! We had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner and the service was exceptional. We will be sure to come back and try more.
