    Went out for my boyfriend’s birthday. Overall an awesome experience. Our server was Paige* (not sure of the spelling).. she was so knowledgeable & friendly right off the bat. We actually ordered 2 of the specials based off her recommendations and they were perfect: Salmon Bites & Rasta Pasta. We had the Chicken Ravioli from their traditional menu & it was amazing. I tried one of the holiday cocktails as well, coconut mojito situation, it was great! I could’ve had 3 easily. 😂 Great place, great service, great food. Will definitely be back!

    Only had brunch menu available and didn’t have several items on that limited menu. Ordered eggs over medium - hard as a rock. Used to love this place, but now it’s just overpriced and so so.

    We visited on 12/14. Our server was kind and amazing. The hostess was not welcoming and acted like she couldn’t find our reservation and led us around like she didn’t know what to do. Thankfully everything else made up for that.

    Our waiter, Rashad, was pleasant, efficient and remembered my request for some ambience with a guest from Italy! We had a delightful lunch with an opportunity for conversation in a quiet environment!

    We were a party of nine and I did not like the way the bill was distributed at the end. They would not give us individual checks per couple “that was not their company policy”. I feel that waiter was fair. A couple of the dinners that were on the higher end price were dried out and andover cook cooked. We did have to ask for a assistant manager regarding the timeframe in which our food was served. Disappointed since we have been there in the past and had no problems!
