We were there celebrating our 27th wedding Anniversary and it had been a couple years since we had been, white table cloth was not placed on our table. The hostess let 4 people squeeze in on the bench seat next to us while they waited for their table to be ready and the people were yelling and pushing their coats in my lap. Nothing was done to ensure we had a nice dinner experience.

Our dinner was fabulous. Our waitress Jordan was a rockstar; very attentive and knew the menu very well. We had the halibut special, a pasta special, the filet in the menu, calamari appetizer and caesar salad and everyone was wonderful. Definitely go back for both the food and the service.

This has become our go to restaurant when we want a night out. The food is always excellent and we usually get something different every time we go ……. Except for the appetizer, we always share the Tortelloni then fight over who gets the last swipe of sauce. You’ll want a double order for your meal. Service is great and we love the vibe. Five stars every time!
