    Fantastic menu items to choose from. The lobster pizza was incredible. Best presentation of Tiramisu I’ve ever seen. A must try.

    Easily accommodated a reservation for a party of 7, didn’t rush us through ordering and serving the food. The servers were all attentive. The food was excellent from appetizers to entrees. The noise wasn’t too bad despite us being near the bar with live entertainment.

    Took a business colleague to lunch there and we both had the business lunch. Excellent value for what you get! $35 for sizable app with excellent choices (like 7), entree (8 or so choices) and 2 dessert choices. I had the shrimp cerviche which was wonderful and the bolognese that was also excellent. We both had the panna cotta for dessert - heavenly. I have already shared with my office mates great choice for a business lunch.
