    We went during a weekday so it was not busy and got right in. We did make reservations just in case, but really didn’t need them because it wasn’t very busy. There was only the bartender and one server on for what seemed like the whole restaurant. They did their best, but there was a delay in getting things and putting in our order. We also ordered additional drinks which never came out.  Overall did not get as much food for the price as I would have hoped.  The food itself was good but not spectacular. Likely we’ll go again just reserving for more special occasions.

    Food and service were excellent! We had Lobster Ravioli and Penne Vodka Chicken and would highly recommend! Carrot cake for desert was scrumptious!
