   Service-amazing! Food-very good. It’s just too loud for us. We were with friends and we couldn’t hear each other.

   Greeted by a dour man without a smile. We were first at the restaurant and yet he told us to stand over near the bar. Then we were seated. Getting coffee was PAINFUL! First the coffee was brought then milk. We had to ask for sugar and spoons! Everything done super slow! We ordered more and only some drinks arrived! Entrees came out and we’re set in front of the wrong people. People who ordered pancakes didn’t get syrup and it took another 5 minutes to get some! Food was good to very good but we won’t go back. Service made it an annoying experience!

   I have eaten here often because I love the food. It was a special occasion and I know the lay out of the restaurant so I made a reservation early and asked for a table in the back where it is more quiet. They gave me a table in the front with the front of restaurant opened and a table in front of me on the sidewalk. There were 2 young women with a dog on one's lap drinking and loudly talking while the dog barked whenever a motorcycle or truck passed by. I told them I had asked for a table in the back and they told me this was all that was available. Very disappointed. Will miss the good food.

   Every course was fantastic. We ordered many appetizers and all were amazing. Meatballs, beets, zucchini, and tuna all delicious. Caesar salad was one of the freshest and crispiest ever. Branzino, frutti de mare, and mushroom lasagna were all very tasty and fresh. The only thing we didn’t like was the eggplant. It was one thick piece. Oh, you must to get the cheese focaccia bread. One of the most delicious warm breads ever! Service was attentive. Water constantly poured, serving utensils given without asking, and silverware replaced after each course. Can’t wait to go back!

   The food was delicious and the service was was good. Loved the special pasta with ramps and the grilled sea bass.  We were there on the early side about seven and left about nine. The only downside was the young 20 and 30 somethings shrieking at high volumes when we left.  We had remarked earlier in the evening about the relatively moderate noise level but it definitely amped up to the unpleasant level by the time we left.

   We waited and had to ask for a waiter to get a drink. My land special was over done. We ordered 2 desserts and got one.
