    Food was delicious and prices easy to “digest.” Menu was varied and not overwhelming. Seating is one of the most comfortable of any restaurant I’ve been to. Server was knowledgeable and helpful and we were never rushed. Overall an excellent dining experience.

    Wine & pasta dishes were a big hit. Waitress spilled entire glass of white wine accidentally onto our table & all over me. While she moved us to another table & offered to get me paper towels, she never expressed any remorse. A simple “oops, I’m sorry! Or… whoa, sorry, didn’t mean to do that!” would have gone a long way. Wedding soup had lot of carrots & celery, like a vegetable soup, but no spinach. Only 4 small meatballs. Grilled octopus was excellent.

    Really rough night for service. We waited for everything from drinks, to bread, and especially the meal. The waiter kept saying they were understaffed but there seemed to be plenty of people wandering around and they weren’t that busy. The food was good when we finally received it but the experience was very disappointing.

    The spaghetti & meatball dish was OK except for several clumps of pasta stuck together. Should have been removed when plating. This was the case on 2 orders.
