    This was the first meal in quite awhile in a restaurant that from start to finish was amazing. I know why my parents loved it here. My seafood bisque was smooth with bits of crab and shrimp and delicious. It was served at the perfect temperature. The branzino was perfectly cooked and seasoned great. The spinach and polenta with it was delicious. Cannolis and cappuccino for desert were the perfect end to a wonderful dinner. They were very busy but our server was attentive and timed her visits to our table perfectly. We didn’t feel ignored or rushed. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever had!
