    The food was very good. There are just a few oddities to mention. It is valet only. We pulled in and the valet worker jumped in the car and said I got you and didn’t give us a ticket. Hmmm lol (we got our car back) The inside is old, and could use a refresh. My husband ordered pasta abd I ordered risotto, we were never offered grated cheese. The bread was the only part of the meal that was not good. Dessert —- we ordered coffee and the waiter told us it would take a long time because there was a private party downstairs. We opted out of the coffee. Overall the food and the experience were very good. We will go back.

    My god, I have never felt so gypped for a meal at that price. First of all, prices on the website are like $8-10 less than they are in restaurant. $31 for a bowl of pasta with NO MEAT OR SEAFOOD. Just pasta and sauce. My wife always, always orders desert out. By the time we were done with the meal we were disgusted by the price, we skipped desert. The food was subpar. Not bad, but not great. For that price? Should have been extraordinary.

    Website shows a $32 lunch special. Server says it’s their catering menu for parties of 20 or more. Food was adequate, but it came at a steep price for croutons from a box on Caesar salads and a pair of so-so entrees.
