    We took the waiter’s recommendation for dishes and thoroughly enjoyed the lobster ravioli and the shrimp specialty of theirs. I highly recommend some bread for sopping up both sauces so as not leave a drop! They were that good. Both were reasonable from a price standpoint as well. Highly recommend.

     Our server was amazing, one of the best ever. We had a 12 top table. However, every single dish came out cold. We had to send back at least half the dishes. The plates we did not send back had clearly been under the heat lamp for an extended period of time. When we got our new plates, the noodles were so overcooked, they were tough. The chicken parmesan was literally burnt and inedible. I would give the food zero stars if that was an option

    We had a party of 6 from Caterpillar, Inc and we ordered appetizers, bread service, cocktails and wine. We enjoyed the ambience and the service from our server Christina. Thanks you for an awesome time. We will be back.

    We were looking for an Italian restaurant while visiting San Antonio and came across this restaurant. Other reviews we read compared to the food quality to Olive Garden, and we thought that folks were speaking in jest. Regrettably, while the service was quite good, every dish we have had at an Olive Garden was better than the dishes we ate here.

    We love this place. My husband and I usually sit at the bar but it was his bday and we had a group so we sat in the dining room. Service was very slow and there was no excuse for it.
