Everything was amazing. Oysters casino was good. The Italian spring rolls were amazing. The cocktails were great. The beef with risotto was delicious! The eggplant parm could be better. Our server Joanna was wonderful. From our entrance to our exit our dining experience was unique and elevated.

The food was delicious! We started with the bang bang shrimp. They were amazing! I had the beef stew with risotto. The beef was so tender; you could cut it with a fork. For dessert, we shared the tartufo. That was heaven on a plate. Our server was great and answered all of our questions. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and the server put a candle in our dessert and even sang happy birthday to him. It was super sweet.

Food was good had the seafood Fra Diablo, crab cakes and pasta bolognese. Appetizers fried calamari was just ok small pieces but fried well. The speciality drink menu was good with holiday martini specialties. Overall service was just ok.. The holiday decor and overall ambiance was nice. Hostesses were good attentive and welcoming experience.. overall it’s a 3-3.5 as food was on the high side for small portions. Would return possibly.
