Good food, but understaffed for a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar due to their inability to seat timely. Might try again on a less busy night.

Absolutely terrible. Our waiter forgot our drink order and app order 2 times so we never even actually got our drink order as our food came and we said forget it. With all that, it was an hour before we even placed our entree order. Absolutely horrendous experience and food was pretty flavorless. Definitely not worth the money.

Servers and waitstaff were attentive and nice. Table setting was nice and trying to set the mood of being upscale but at least to me just had no identity/ambiance/vibe. They obviously need help with bartending the night we came as they were very slow. First drink came after dinner was served and 2nd drink at the very tail end of dinner (and yes we ordered early enough where that should not have been a problem). Other tables were experiencing the same and overheard waitstaff complaining to one another. As for the food it was mixed. My wife had the porkchop it was good, tender and flavorful. I had the Chilean Sea Bass. The flavor was lacking either needed more sauce or salt but the worst part is that it was really fishy tasting and smelled real fishy too. It seemed like other fish dishes had the strong fish smell too as they walked the meals by the table. Maybe not fresh fish? Pricing was on par with the area which is a tad pricey.

What a great restaurant. The food was excellent, the service was great. Not too many restaurants have the owners wondering around the dining room conversing with customers. Very homey. Felt like family. Love this place.

Server was clearly overwhelmed. Only one server for the whole dining room with a couple assistants and a manager who offered to get our checks and then walked away and didn’t follow through. Food was great but poor service ruined the experience.

My beet salad was very tasty. Fried Calamari was a bit too chewy. My husband had the pappardelle with lobster which he did not enjoy at all. Everything tasted like the tomato based sauce it came in. I had the Branzino. Portion size was good for me - small. It was ok but not great. Probably would not order it again though. We had the tiramisu for dessert which was delicious Service was very good and ambiance very nice.
