    Food was very good. Server was attentive but lacked personality. Good vibe but very noisy even before the 2 man band. We love this place though. You won’t be disappointed.

    The food was very good and our server was great and Very personable. We got chicken milanese & burgers which were all liked. There was a fun band playing so that made for a perfect night. I do feel the prices are high for what we got, but understand food prices have gone up and the portions were large so we had leftovers. The only food glitch was the fries were not cooked all the way.

    Food and service were very good. Wish hostess was a bit nicer and didn’t appreciate being squeezed into small tables next to the bar. Overall I would go back for the food and service but not the dining environment.
