    What a beautiful restaurant & the ambiance was really nice. Our server (forgot her name but she’s from Connecticut) was so nice. We asked what her favorite dishes were & we took her suggestions & they did not disappoint!

    Incredible service and attentiveness. John and Sam were the absolute best. I had a tough night and they completely turned it around with their friendliness and kindness. Food was unreal good. Just amazing.

    Incredible and amazing. From the service to food to staff. Carmen was outstanding. Eye contact and communication. Then we had the privilege to meet the chef. They truly take care of their customers. Highly recommended.

    The scallops and risotto were outstanding. The ambience is top notch. The service was good. Express Martini with Baileys added, superb. Old Fashion- not my favorite.
