    The resturant was so cute inside! The food was delicious. My party shared the zucchini blossom appetizer, and I got the Fra Diavolo pasta with shrimp and chicken . It was fabulous, as was the fall margarita. I will be returning for sure!

    We have been to this restaurant many times. The food and service are mostly good. The prices are a little high so we often will use a discount coupon if we have one.

    Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was excellent. It was a bit pricey but the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Ladies night drink specials were abundant and the music in the lobby added to a great vibe. Highly recommend.

    Food was spot on good. Always enjoy our meals here. Service was a bit slow and the restaurant was not very crowded. Seemed like they were not staffed correctly. Still a great choice
