One of our favorite places. We sat outside on the terrace, and although it was a chilly evening, we were quite comfortable.

Ron was great, thorough and recommended the best items on the menu in order to make the ordering experience a bit simpler. The service from our waitress was excellent and we had plenty of folks checking on us and sharing interesting bits of information about the chef, the offerings, and upcoming events. Food was exceptional and came with plenty of free tastings that were a nice surprise. Will definitely be returning.

The food was very good. Spicy Pie as an appetizer was unique and delicious. I ordered the Thousand Layer Lasagne and it was very tasty. The Polenta was delicious as well. We arrived a little early for our 6:45 reservation and our host was going to set us up at a large table adjacent to the bar; we requested a table change and he accommodated our request and put us at a nice table in the dining room, which we really appreciated because it was quieter for our party of 5 as we celebrated a birthday. Highly recommend this restaurant.
