Excellent all around service. Our reservation was in place and we were welcomed in a very professional manner. This was a family united together after 5 years separation. Personally I am not a fan of pasta dishes but overall everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. The atmosphere was just as we wanted... to allow us to carry on a verbal conversation without having to yell to be heard. We had an outstanding evening of meal and socializing. Thank you, much appreciated! rw
