   The food was really great however it was really pricey. For two of us it was $145 (not including the tip) and we did not drink big drinks (2 Coors Lights and 1 draft beer). We did bring home leftovers. Service was good, but I felt like the server was stretched a little thin. After about 6 PM, the volume level jumped incredibly and with music that I felt was inappropriate for the venue.  I would hope for more of some fun Rat Pack music and instead it was more like disco/80s. I would go again, but maybe next time earlier for happy hour and enjoy it more that way.

   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.
