3 of the 4 people at the table got their food but the 4th person ordered chicken piccata and we had to wait more than 10 minutes for her plate to arrive. It was poor timing of the kitchen we didn’t get all the food. Those of us with our food waited til the 4th person food arrived.

Antonio was our server and he was excellent. We have had Antonio as our server before and he always provides excellent and quality service. We usually order the same Burgundy wine and was looking in the by the glass section and forgot to look in the bottle section and did not see it but he remembered the name of the wine for us. We love Coppa and it is our go to.
