    I’m dying here many times the food is always excellent. The bar area is very lively and on Saturday nights. They have a DJ so it draws in a very big crowd. It does get very loud in the dining room on a Friday and Saturday night so it can be very difficult to hear conversations at the table. Our server forgot to tell us the specials for the night. I’m not sure if she was just overwhelmed because it was very busy but other times that we’ve dined we’ve had excellent service and the food is always fantastic. Their penny with vodka sauce is very good. We like their stuff artichoke and their other artichoke appetizer. The halibut special was very good. Chicken dishes are excellent. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order from here.

    Absolutely the worst experience on a Friday night. Service was unorganized and haphazard and the food was terrible
