We’ve eaten here 3 or 4 times and the food keeps getting better. Really excellent food last night. We had a house salad, the rigatoni a la vodka, the Halibut special and the chicken parm. Outstanding. Then for my birthday they did a lovely celebration which all in the restaurant enjoy. Excellent service. Our lead was Jessica and she’s been our waitress there twice. She’s very attentive.
