    Loved our server, he’s been with the restaurant 9 years! So very kind and made great suggestions. Food came out fast and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The salted caramel ice cream was so delicious and the rigatoni with eggplant was very good. The portions are very good sized so come hungry.

    Delicious food options (went for brunch, mostly ordered from the lunch menu). The steak bites were the table favorite, with Brussels sprouts as runner up. For a birthday, it was the perfect atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

    Great date spot. Food is always first rate, and the service is fantastic. It can be a little loud depending on the sitting and music, but it is a fun and lively atmosphere. There is a private seating area for before or after the service, so get a drink and take advantage of it.
