    At the unfortunate experience is sitting out on the deck. It was extremely loud, with crazy music. The food was extremely average and expensive.

    The food was good. The table was not. The table and chairs were uncomfortable and located next to a broken outdoor tarp. I didn’t know they had part of their outdoor tarp broken off. It made dining outside colder than I was anticipating.

    If your going to seat in patio you should make sure its warm with plenty of heaters. I sat with my furry coat all through the meal. When we blowed you can see our condisation. Salad had way too much dressing and chicken was dry. Very disappointing on Valentine’s Day meal.

    The small plates are such a hit! The Lentil Soup was`thick and filling, simply delicious. We also had the Caesar Salad, and three different pasta dishes. We ended up taking some of the leftovers home. Thank you to Frank, Lori and the Staff for offering delectable small meals that are outstanding!
