Greeted as soon as we entered. Seating was prompt and perfect. I don’t think there is a bad table ! Calamari was delicious especially the sauce. Scallops were cooked perfectly as was the lamb. Perfect size portions for lunch. Their standard of excellence continues. We had an excellent Xmas lunch. I have been away too long.

Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.
