    The food was wonderful! Service was a little slow, but that could have been because it was Christmas. Overall a wonderful experience.

    Terrific! Staff was great. We sat outside and they let our group stay until closing. The gluten free ravioli were delicious!

    All four of us enjoyed appetizers and our meals outside, which was very pleasant. The molten lava cake was a bit disappointing as it was not warm or soft(no lava)! Our waitress, Xiomara, was fantastic - like an old school waitress who engaged in banter and was extremely attentive. She contributed to us enjoying a very nice meal!
