We had a wonderful experience for a birthday date night. Free birthday dessert, and when the kitchen accidentally missed our ticket, we were offered a free round of drinks by the manager. The food was excellent, and the service was great. Great atmosphere. We would highly recommend!

This was a great experience all the way through. It was easy to make a resy and it just kept on getting better. We had the salmon puff pastry, whitefish, pasta, Caesar salad and French Onion Soup. They were all 10's. Our server was perfect, not too attentive, just attentive enough. Our table was such that it felt like we had our own booth. It was easy to talk even though we were fairly close to the wonderful musician.

I’ve been there several times and the food is usually very very good. The only issue I had was it took them four times to get my steak right. Other than that definitely will be going back.

Seated pretty quickly; service was a little slow; menu had nice variety; calamari appetizer was skimpy, but delicious; entrees were spaghetti and meatball (1), lamb chops, and a salad - all tasty; desserts were Nutella crepe and a bread pudding - both delicious!
