    The music was way too loud! Asked to be moved but they couldn’t accommodate us. We shared the shrimp cocktail, baked goat cheese and their special the baked 4 cheese ravioli. The food was very good. However, the clam chowder soup was milky and not too good. Suzy Q was our waitress and she was excellent as was Reilly the bus boy and man in charge of the great bread! The entire staff was friendly and helpful. We had an overall enjoyable dining experience.
