Took my friend here for her birthday and we went early so it was nice and quiet. We loved the baked Brie and I had the delicious salmon risotto. I recommend this place highly

We went here for my daughters graduation, the service was very slow and food was not worth the money. The wine list is very minimal. I had the chicken Marsala, it was very lemony and the sauce was very runny. My husband had the special mahi mahi, he said it was not that good.

Great service, great food. Our waitress was very attentive. We had 7 peoples so it was a little busy. All of the food and drinks were great. We would definitely come back again.

Hadn't been there for a while. Disappointed with the food. Just OK, but for a graduation dinner, really disappointing. Server did his best, but apparently one chef didn't show. Need backups. Won't be going back and can not recommend the restaurant. :-(

We generally get spaghetti with meat sauce or lasagna, which is what we had this time. Took a minute for the hostess to notice us after we entered but after she saw us we were promptly seated and service was good. The meat sauce is what I come for and it's delicious, but I always feel like the dinner prices are a bit on the high side. Lunch prices are right on the money. As noted in other reviews, the decor can really use an update. I sat next to a rear wall next to a blocked off door and the cobwebs visible through the doorknob hole are kind of a turn off.

We had an outstanding meal and couldn't stop talking about how great it was. We were seated in a very nice booth and the service was also outstanding. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
