    We had the short ribs and the flat iron steak. Calamari for the appetizer and root beer cookies for dessert. Dinner and service was good Unfortunately, there were unsupervised children playing loudly a couple of tables away. We did not see any parents throughout the entire meal. Management could not find the parents?

    There were 4 of us for dinner. Food was great, we had salads, short rib ravioli with vodka sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, and rosemary chicken. With dinner we had wine & beer - everything was GREAT!!! For dessert, we shared chocolate cake with ice cream and tiramisu. Again, everything was GREAT! The restaurant looked beautiful with the Christmas decorations. Music was just starting when we left, sounded like FUN! We had a 5:00 reservation to fit a busy schedule. Savanah was our server and was friendly & attentive. We really enjoyed her! When we left, we ended up buying a gift certificate for $100 and got a $25 bonus as we will be coming back again for sure!

    Christmas Eve was bustling, so human noise expected. For us, the music was a tad loud. Wonderful way to spend an evening, though. We always enjoy the camaraderie of owners and staff.
