    Got the sunset dinner or early bird dinner specials. The rigatoni and the short rib were both excellent! As were the drinks and the burrata cheese appetizer. Our server was especially helpful and a joy to have serving us. We will definitely return.

    Seated at exactly our reservation time. The lobster bisque was good, not great, but everything else was excellent. The ribeye and crab pasta were delicious. I never order porkchops, but the combination of blue cheese crusted and Brussel sprouts sounded appealing. The pork was cooked to perfection. The $30 corking fee to enjoy our favorite white and the pleasant staff made for a wonderful evening.

    The medjool dates were a wonderful surprise- large and full of blue cheese. Short ribs and lamb shank were cooked perfectly.

    Really good food, and outstanding service. We were disappointed that they had run out of the lamb as two of us were planning on it, but the alternatives were very good. Pricing has definitely increased since our last visit about 30 months earlier.

    Fantastic atmosphere and excellent service, but the food falls a bit short. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just not memorable or exceptional. For the price point, I was expecting more.
