Made a reservation for 4 people at 6:30 on a Saturday evening. We walked in a few minutes early and our table was ready. Waitress was fantastic! New employee with a great attitude! We had apps and entries and everything was absolutely perfect. So much food we had to bring some home! Cheers!

Its better than it used to be there. The new restaurant is nicer and cleaner. Service was great. Waiter was prompt and really nice. Joking around with us and seemed very comfortable with his job. Food was amazing. I had chicken parm. Very large serving. Good value for your money. Would definitely recommend now. Before it was renovated not so much. Keep up with the improvements.
