The food was incredible! It was my second time there, and I absolutely loved it. The service could be a bit more organized, but overall, it was a great experience.

I love that this restaurant feels different than the trendy places in the area. It is a classic restaurant - with tablecloths and S&P on the table. Experienced, thoughtful waitstaff and the ambiance made a delicious meal even more special. We ordered both of the specials which were excellent. The garlic bread - also a unique and delicious side is a great order to sop up the leftover sauce that comes with the meal. Hope to be back.
