I like the open kitchen where you can watch your food being made. All the pasta dishes we ordered were delicious. They make their pastas and bread in house. I wasn’t a fan for the olive oil that came with focaccia, but the bread was soft and yummy. Oysters were fresh. The plating was very nice. I definitely will go back and also recommend this place to all my friends.

The Thanksgiving buffet was perfect. A great selection of appetizers and the entrée selections met dietary needs. Turkey, prime rib, salmon, as well as a vegetarian mushroom dish and vegan mushroom dish. The chocolate flour less cake with ganache was spectacular. The only very minor issue was the timing of our entrée. Two arrived before we were done with our appetizers. In the servers' defense, it probably was hard to time considering that diner was finished with his appetizers. Overall, I highly recommend this for a memorable experience.

Had a lovely Thanksgiving Day meal. Food was very good and plentiful. Our server was very efficient and friendly. We looked out on a beautiful park filled with colorful fall foliage on a crisp November afternoon. Picture perfect. And found free Holiday street parking.
