    We normally really enjoy our meal here, but all four of us commented as we left that the food was not as good. My lettuce was wilted in my salad, my husband said his chicken did not have as much flavor as usual, my pasta was just not as good as usual, just tasted different than normal, not the same flavors and I get it almost every time. Service was great.

    Food is only mediocre; service is slow; and cost is excessive. We were also unable to use a coupon mailed to my wife for her birthday. This establishment is not worth your time or money.

    Food was good. Service was poor. Waited 15 minutes before a server came to table and throughout meal was hardly seen.

    We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server, Oscar, was attentive, friendly, and funny. The wedge salad is still one of my favorites. My husband really enjoyed the salmon and sweet potatoes and the pasta ala vodka did not disappoint. I recommend sitting on the patio in February-April.
