We had a great time and great food. We did the, quite fun, Chef's Table experience. It was us two and the entire kitchen staff. The staff were having fun, working hard, and making great food. We started with a bruschetta, which was good. I had the Linguini with a mix of seafood and I asked for it to be spicy, and they did not disappoint. My Wife had the Pescedilimone, White fish with lemon and capers. It was terrific. We shared a Tiramisu that was good (I like the bottom saucy/wet). Our cocktails were quite good as well. I love that they are named after the local roller coasters. We are looking forward to going back and I want to try the Osso Buco and one of the yummy-sounding ravioli dishes. Danny the Manager was so nice and hospitable. I am hoping people really make this place their go-to hot spot.
