Meatball and Lamb were excellent. Generous portions and came out nice and hot. Madison was a very good server and recommended a nice bottle of well priced red wine, called Tapestry.

All the dishes were excellent. I have been to this restaurant before, but today was exceptionally better. The atmosphere leans toward the noisier side, but we really enjoy the food there. The service could have been improved if the server had been more attentive, but I don't have any major complaints. I will definitely be back.

While we waited for our table we were served pomegranate mimosas. Very nice. There are many reasons we enjoy dining here. The only drawback is the noise level. I’m not sure there is any solution. I really enjoy the butter lettuce salad with goat cheese and this time I added the salmon. It was a delicious combination.

We ordered the agnolotti for our appetizer. It’s always a good dish. For dinner my husband had the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. I had the surf and turf special. The special came with 3 huge shrimp and filet mignon. The shrimp were cooked to perfection as was the filet. It came with delicious veggies. The chicken sandwich was yummy and the fries were crispy and delicious. Service by Diego and Rebecca was excellent. We love this restaurant
