   Meatball appetizer was superb! Caesar salad included white anchovies. Perfect. Unfortunately, the bone-in veal chop is not accurately advertised. It is not bone in. It is a veal cutlet Parmesan overcooked with a bone on the side. I love veal chops. I don’t like veal cutlet Parmesan. My date’s chicken was very good. We may go back to try other dishes but I will never, ever get the bone-in veal chops.

   Our experience at this restaurant was underwhelming. We were seated for 12 minutes before anyone greeted us with water and waited another 5 minutes before a different server came to take our drink order. Unfortunately, our server never introduced themselves, so we’re not even sure who was assigned to our table. To make matters worse, my daughter never received her soda, and we only saw our server twice—once to take our order and once when I handed them my card for payment. I had been waiting with the card on the edge of the table, hoping to request the bill, but instead, I just handed it over without any interaction. I never received an itemized receipt, which was frustrating. If we wanted a meal without the service aspect, we would have gone to a fast-food place. The only redeeming quality was that the food arrived quickly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for the lackluster service. Highly disappointed.

   There were 6 in our party-everyone had an excellent dinner, drinks, and dessert! We have been here before and will be back again! Great service as well!

   Our reservation was at 7:15. We arrived at seven and got seated immediately. Our server did not show up until about 10 minutes after we sat down. It took even longer for our drinks to come to our table. When our food arrived, my husband‘s dinner was very hot. My dinner was room Temperature and portions were cold.

   Service was outstanding. Food was great. It is extremely noisy inside - sound seems to bounce off every surface making it very difficult to have a conversation with our dinner partners. Our server was very helpful in helping us move to an outside table where we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
