    The food is absolutely delicious. I had the steak which was done just perfectly and my wife had the linguine which she said was perfectly al dante. We also had the calamari,which was very good. Our server was outstanding, and the noise level was very low, so you could easily carry on a conversation. The only negative I would possibly have would be as we were leaving. I told the hostess that we had a great server and that it seemed to me like she was working the whole room. She snapped back that our server was just a drama queen. I think she thought the server was complaining to me, which was absolutely not the case, as she was incredibly professional. Rather, it was an observation on my part. Kind of left a final bad taste on an otherwise perfect evening. Maybe the hostess was just having a bad day. We will absolutely go back and enjoy another meal there. Maybe they'll be a more professional hostess next time.
