                                                            The food was excellent. I had the ribeye and it was fabulous. Better than any I have had at any other restaurant*** Our server, Brennon, was awesome. He checked on us often but didn't continuously bother us while we were visiting. This is a great place when you really want to visit with those you love and celebrate life. The owner, Cristiano, stopped by the table twice to check on us and the food. It was an excellent celebration.

                                                            Exceptional food, great service and mellow vibes. 6 of us ate in the bar. We had two sofas facing each other with a long coffee table between us. The table was plenty big enough, and the servers kept the 6 appetizers rolling while coming in hot with craft cocktails and water. I liked the Jalapeño Risotto the best. The Airline chicken seemed the most exotic entree and we ordered 2. We also had meatball and spaghetti, crab meat tortellini, Caesar salad with anchovies and shrimp. Our server was excellent. Price was reasonable, about $60 per head with everyone having at least 1 cocktail and 20% tip.

                                                            We have been here several times before. Our server was not the best but pulled through major trouble opening up a bottle of wine. The character of patrons that was around us was horrible. For our anniversary we expected way better than what we had. Service could have been way better.

                                                            As always great service and atmosphere!!! The halibut was amazing. My wife’s meat balls were over handled which made them very tough, but the spaghetti was still great. We were heart broken that the duck strips were no longer available.  Overall, can’t wait to go back. They just proved a setting that is second to none.
