    Had the best time for my birthday! We were first-time visitors. The bartender gave us his recs while we were having a drink waiting for our reservation, and he was spot-on. We also had a lovely chat with the soon-to-be retiring Mary Rose. T-ravs made in-house were the lightest and tastiest ever. Our party also enjoyed calimari, delicious house salad, tutto mari, bolognese, spaghetti & meatballs, and the steak dish. Would recommend all these items. The bartender ended up also being our server, and he took great care of us.
