    Everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made . Our governor server for dinner was incredibly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We started with appetizers. I had the blue point oysters that were fresh and absolutely delicious. My partner had the beet salad with orange sections and again it was delicious. We shared a pasta dish with broccoli rabbi and sausage.,  again it was outstanding. We also shared the pork Oso, Bucco ; delicious!! The food, service and ambience are all so perfect!

    We really enjoyed the dinner. I will say that while service is adequate, it should be beefed up a little. We sometimes had to wait to get someone's attention to either get another drink or something. Another waiter would be my suggestion. That isn't a knock but an observation. We will continue to go there.
