The food was good. The staff was distracted, after discovering this, the owner was a overly concerned. It turned out okay. I’m not sure if I’ll go back. Maybe a second chance is in order.

Food wonderful, service could have been a bit quicker, and the noise was just so one could hear those at the table.

Enjoyed a relaxing dinner and cocktails. Started with Grilled romance lettuce and also their popular meatballs. Dinner was Bronzino and grilled mixed meat dish. Both dinner dishes were outstanding! Excellent flavors and good staff!!

We had a small gathering of friends who had not seen each other in years. The venue was perfect for great conversation. If there was noise in the restaurant, it was coming from our table. The food and service was great!
