The dishes were excellent! We ordered the sea bass, lamp chops, and butternut squash pasta. The grilled veggie appetizer and burrata salad was exquisite as well. We loved the service; our server was so attentive to our needs and did an excellent job. We also enjoyed the cocktails and mocktails as well. Thank you for a wonderful family dinner experience!

Service was amazing. Staff really did a great job to go above and beyond for our birthday celebration. Food was good, traditional Italian options and generous portions. We were there on a Monday night so it was fairly quiet but you can tell the room can have a lively ambiance.
