    We come here for dinner about once a month. The service is exceptional and the food is always delicious and served hot. We were a party of 4 and chose to come on Tomahawk Tuesday. We ordered a few dishes, the chicken parm with their signature sauce, the Tomahawk, an order of Brussels sprouts, French fries, and a pizza- we had more than enough food. And some to take home. The tomahawk can easily be split between 3-4 guests. We will definitely be back. Need to try their weekend brunch and Sunday sauce menus!

    We ate there on a Wednesday night and there were only two other couples, which made for a quiet and enjoyable meal with an attentive staff. The sushi chef was right in front of us so we could see his dextrous skills in preparing the finely cut pieces of fish and applying the delicate garnishes. The fish was fresh and the creations delicious. For a special treat, I highly recommend this omakase experience!
