    Wonderful food that taste great. I did the 38.00 trio that included bread, salad, the trio and dessert. Took enough home for two more meals. The service was five out of five stars.

    We always have a great experience here. Food is great, portions generous and top notch service. We did feel a bit squished in like sardines, with only a foot or so between tables. So if you’re looking for privacy, probably not your place.

    We went to celebrate a birthday, which I indicated on our reservation; however, no one mentioned anything and we witnessed others having their celebrations acknowledged. The food was decent, but our service was less than average and the food did not make up for it. Our waitress did not inquire if we would like drinks other than water, she paid minimal attention to us, and was quick to deliver our check. The restaurant was not busy, and other servers appeared engaged with their tables, so perhaps this was an isolated experience. Overall we were disappointed.
