Very consistent experience each time we come. Great ambience, very good food, friendly service, but very sporadic in how attentive they are to the table. If they could get service right, this would be a great place. It’s been the same issue for at least the last three years coming here. valet also very slow. My dad waited 30 minutes to get his car around 8 PM.

First of all, our server was fantastic! Couldn’t have asked for better. As for the food, disappointed in my mushroom pasta. Too small of a portion and had a strange taste. Wouldn’t order again. My friend’s scallops were small and few. Not enough for dinner or for the price. I usually have trouble finding something tasty at this restaurant . We only return because the booths and ambiance provide a quiet place to talk. Perhaps a new chef?
