Fun dinner with friends and a very helpful and professional server. We enjoyed wine, lasagne, clams and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. We all shared delicious chocolate mousse cake. It was a nice dinner together.

Things just seemed to go wrong. We were seated by a door, and the hostess didn’t want to move us. It took a while for wait persons to figure out how to pull down the blinds against blinding sun. They were out of the special we ordered, but later mistakenly served it, then wisked it away to another table. The server was good, but forgot to bring bread.

We had s couple of problems. 1. The kitchen neglected to prepare one of our meals(steak) so the rest if had to wait 15-20 minutes with our food at our table got cold. 2. The prime rib special came out cold and the delay only exasperated that. In addition it was very tough. I should have ordered pasta. Salad, potatoes and asparagus were ok. This was a birthday celebration so it was poor time have this type of hiccup. We are regular customers and normally have enjoyed the food and service.

Service was excellent, although my food came out on a cracked plate. When I brought this up, no one seemed to care which was weird. Bruschetta is overpriced, but everything else the pricing was fine.

Our server “B”, was superb. Alert, knowledgeable and professional. Also a good sense of humor. We’ll ask for her again. The Papardelle Bolonese and the Picata were absolutely outstanding. Great taste and very good portions. We had no complaints. And, this establishment is just down the road for us. This was our second visit and certainly not be the last. As usual, the owner was present and working hard to grow his business. Kudos!
