    Great food and drinks as always. I booked a reso for my birthday since this is my favorite restaurant and we frequent every few months but there was no real acknowledgment of the special day so that was disappointing

    Food was amazing as always. Felt incredibly rushed to get out of there by the staff. Wasn't offered a drink during dinner after the waitress took my empty glass away. Not like we were there for a long time, had spent 52 minutes in there in total but it was clear they were just trying to turn tables as quick as possible.... Sad experience to be honest.

    Service was awesome, the food was really really good. The carrot cake is maybe the best I’ve ever had.

    Highly recommend this neighborhood favorite. We have enjoyed countless meals there over the last probably 25 years. Food is always thoughtfully prepared and professionally served.

    We were not offered bread prior to meal and the food was delivered way too fast. Pasta was served in a cereal sized bowl. The wine was good but mark up was too high. Overall the food was overpriced with very small quantities. 4 scallops for $40 would have been fine had they tasted good. Overall we felt rushed. We will not go back.
