Everything was wonderful. The service was prompt but not bothersome. The food was delicious. The scallops and short rib agnolotti, in particular, were amazing.

We went in for our anniversary and although we dealt with a very long wait time, we understood it was a very busy night and both our server and the manager were very kind and apologetic. The food was excellent and the ambience with the live band was lovely.
