    I made the reservation over 2 weeks ago, and we were placed by the front door by the cold draft of the front door. When we asked to be seated at another table (several open tables for 5), we were told they were booked. From my view, one of the tables was vacant until 5 pm. We had to ask for heaters to stay warm. The food was overcooked...3 of us had the chicken limone, and in the past, it was always tender and never needed a knife to cut. This time, we needed a knife to cut it and almost ask for a steak knife. This used to be one of our go-to and with our 1st visit within the first month of the opening. Happy Hour was one of our tops, but after the last few experiences and this one being worse, we will not be back. Something has changed and not for the better. Sorry to experience this as it was always excellent.

    We took our granddaughter there for her birthday and Christmas get together. Our waiter was excellent ! The food was excellent! We had the meatballs, chopped salad, salmon, chicken parm, and pesto genovese! The caramalized cheesecake for dessert was wonderful! Wonderful experience !

    We arrived at the restaurant at 4:00pm per our reservation and there were already several tables seated (the restaurant opened at 4- so this was a bit surprising. Did not know we could have entered sooner). In my reservation, I asked to be near a lot of light since one of our party is mostly blind- and extra light helps her. The staff never acknowledged that request and the best lighted table had already been given to another group. What's the point of asking for special needs if you don't acknowledge them?
