    Outstanding place to dine. Food was superbly prepared. Our waiter, Richard was attentive, friendly, and professional. I thought it was quite interesting how much the waitresses and waiters helped each other. The ambience was most enjoyable with low lighting, candles, old brick and wood. I did give it 4 instead of 5 stars, for value as it is on the expensive site, but well worth it especially for special occasions. We were celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary and will return for such times

    Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.
