    The food was fantastic! The halibut was absolutely perfect and the tagliatelle was spectacular. We really enjoyed sitting at the chef's counter and watching the fire. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience! Can't wait to visit again. Definitely order the bread!

    Food off the menu was excellent and filling! Prime rib special was tasty but small. It may be common but paying extra for a salad as a second side irritates us. Though the side salad IS large and very good! So it is worth $6, just wish even a smaller version came with the meal instead. I didn’t notice if it was listed in the menu or posted somewhere but there’s an admin fee for all orders (2.88%) but no additional fee for credit card.

    Seated pretty quickly; service was a little slow; menu had nice variety; calamari appetizer was skimpy, but delicious; entrees were spaghetti and meatball (1), lamb chops, and a salad - all tasty; desserts were Nutella crepe and a bread pudding - both delicious!
