    We come here for gatherings and special birthdays and anniversaries. The food and service is great as usual. However, we were disappointed to note that we had 3 birthdays to celebrate and ordered an affogado for one birthday and only received 3 candles and Happy Birthday in chocolate syrup with 4 spoons and no complimentary birthday tiramisu cake to celebrate. Complimentary Birthday desserts are no longer provided and it has been a nice touch for the celebrations. The chef did come out and light 3 candles waxed onto the platter but only the affogado (paid for) was provided.

    Very nice reception when we arrived. Taken to our table immediately even though we were early. Great server and bus staff. My granddaughter was given crayons and paper to color. They have a kids meal even though it is fine dining. The owner who was cooking made sure to say good bye. Wow.

    We love this place and can't wait to go again. It's a bit of a drive for us, so we only get there a couple times a year.

    Food was pretty good. Calamari was smaller and a bit dry. Most meals were very good. Service was excellent. Gelato was outstanding! Order the chocolate gelato!
