It’s been a long time since we’ve been upstairs here, and we left feeling let down. Food was ok, but there are much better restaurants in town, including the first floor of the restaurant. We’ll continue going to the downstairs half of the restaurant.

Outstanding service. Octopus appetizer was cooked perfectly and flavored well. Side salad was a perfect amount to make a complete meal. Friend ordered a fish special and wasn't told it was $85. She said the vegetables and potatoes weren't very tasty but the fish was good. Suggest mentioning specials prices. Another friend had the chicken Milanase she said was nicely cooked and seasoned. All three of us were celebrating our birthdays. We were given a delicious slice of key lime pie to share with a candle. Nice touch. Thank you.
