Took my wife there for Valentine's Day, food was phenomenal, the atmosphere was very cozy, quiet and perfect for a romantic night out. Service was a bit on the slow side, however, they were very busy, so not a major complaint. The staff was still very attentive. We will definitely be back. The patio outside looks like a perfect place for a summer date night.

A variety of food and beverage choices, ample portions but not too large, and very tastefully prepared dishes. The veal parmesan was outstanding and it's aptly called the "World's Best". All staff are friendly, courteous and attentive. Thank you for delightful and satisfying food, service and ambience. Exceeded expectations. Will definitely be returning.
