From arriving to departure the service at every level was spectacular. Our primary server - Will - was exceptional and explained the menu in mouthwatering detail. The octopus appetizer was tender and perfectly prepared as were the mussels and scallop. The beer marinated black cod was done to perfection and the lamb and beef entree was rich and delicious. 10/10!

I wish there was a 10 rating for our server JOHN. He was fabulous!! Food was good and the ambiance “Old Naples” which I love. The lobster pasta was tasty but our group didn’t like how it was stuck together, needed more sauce to loosen the pasta apart. But that was the only feedback. Quiet place for our business meeting.
