    We used Open Table and made our reservation for Christmas lunch. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove to the restaurant. It was a great ambience. The food choices on the menu and the specials all sounded amazing. Made it hard to choose especially after our waitress Margarita shared her favorites. We decided we would just have bread before our meal because all the portions looked large. I had the freshest salad with honey mustard the house dressing. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfection. Not too rich. It was well balanced lemon crème sauce with stuffed lobster ricotta pasta. My husband and our other guest both got baked Mostaccioli. They loved it and both took home leftovers. We had tiramisu and I had vanilla and chocolate gelato with chocolate and caramel syrup which our waitress made at her recommendation. Yum!! There. Was nothing I would have changed. It was such a great meal. I'm ready to go back now and highly recommend.

    excellent prefix dinner choices- all 3 of us had the sea bass, one had issues 24 hours after with the fish, he told me at home it had a smell to it when served; this is our go-to -place for special events-sadly the table next to us had 6 very loud customers, they were definitely not respectful of other customers, most of them traveled from out of state and had no clue re: fine dining courtesies to close neighbors, they made the bistro attendees look way ore respectful of other customers- overall, was a nice place for a dinner, Mo
