   Had reservations, but still had to wait for a table to turn. Good variety of food selections. Started with fried calamari which was lightly coated, hot, and delicious. Could’ve passed on the Caesar salad which was nothing special, however the pineapple salad was uniquely good. Chicken DiCapra was tasty with the zucchini and sun dried tomatoes. Better tasting was the chicken limon with capers. Ordered the special holiday cheesecake which looked beautiful with a berry sauce, but very gummy in texture. Would try it again and order other entrees.

   The food was delicious! However, we placed our drink order when we got seated but didn’t get our drinks for more than half an hour. The bartender was backed up because of a large group in the party room. We ordered appetizers that arrived well before our drinks.

   I ordered a New York strip steak to be cooked medium, and it was cooked beyond well well done - little flavor. We ordered martinis and cocktails, but they tasted very off and watery. The service and mussels were great though!

   Outstanding food and service! Everything we have tried on the menu has been excellent, along with their specials. No doubt the community loves place as its always busy when we go. Five stars.

   Food and wine presentation and flavor was outstanding! Best tasting mushrooms I have ever had. Atmosphere was warm and service and staff was exceptional.
