    Waiter stated they were under staffed for New Year's Eve holiday. Terrible service never checked on us, table not cleared, water not filled. Did not have full drinks from their holiday drink menu. We will not be returning.

    The food was fabulous! Homemade pasta in all of the pasta dishes. The shrimp was fresh and perfectly cooked. They match flavors so perfectly and every bite was delicious! We ordered the vanilla ice cream for dessert and to our surprise, it was vanilla gelato, again homemade! Needless to say, we did not leave any in the bowl. Definitely a place to go again and again!

    Our server. Haley was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Our food was hot and delicious. We had the Branzino which was cooked to perfection - hot, very tasty, done with excellent egetables. Mine werre asparagus amd roasted potatoes and my husband had the roasted potatoes and broccoli rabe. We also enjoyed our salads. Mine was the chopped salad and my husband's included the roast potatoes, Caesar Salad, and broccoli rabe - all of which were ecellent. Also, the restaurant was immaculate and we highly recommend the restaurant to anyone. Hugh and Lydia Vine

    Food was super overpriced. $12 salad could fit in the palm of your hand. Filet was overcooked and tough. Complimentary bread looked and tasted bland as if it was just thawed from a freezer. Waitress unfortunately messed up our order, which was a simple request to not have potatoes but veggies instead. When I told the manager the silverware couldn’t cut the filet, which could have been it was overcooked AND the knife being really dull, he said “no one has ever complained about our knives before.” The waitress ended up getting a knife about 6” in length and was so skinny, that it could have snapped if I applied any pressure while cutting it. Awful experience and would never go back.
