We had a fantastic dinner here last night. Everyone enjoyed their meals (veal parm, veal picatta and seafood pasta dish) the sauces were excellent. We subbed vegetables for side pasta. Calamari app was the best we’ve ever had. Good value and great service. It was my son’s birthday and they presented him with a Happy Birthday dessert. Would love to return.

Food was okay. A number of our dishes were quite bland and the fried rice was oily and not very good. Service was lackluster — our waiter never even bothered to refill our water. Location is great but overall experience was okay.

My family came to visit me from New Jersey and they loved it. We got there around 6 ish. It’s fairly on the quiet side but that changes shortly. The food,service and entertainment were great. They talked about it all the way to their hotel. I love this place!
