Food was very underwhelming, felt like a slightly upgraded Olive Garden. Service was okay but slow to start. Ambiance is what carries this place.

Our server Matthew was very good but things seemed a bit rushed; our salads arrived about 3 minutes after we ordered them. The bread was a disappointment; cold and hard. It came wrapped in wax paper and should have been served warm or at least fresh. The pastas and the duck were excellent and the dining room is very pretty.
