    Very helpful staff, we enjoyed the ambiance, and the food was delicious. We started with the bruschetta, and a Caesar salad and the main course was chicken Alfredo. We definitely will come back and recommend to everyone.

    Grabbed dinner before going to see Moulin Rouge. It was the perfect start to a wonderful night. The place was super cute and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the prefix meal with the Caesar salad and chicken Alfredo! The cheesecake and cannolis were tough to choose from so I would advising sharing both with a friend! Both the best I have ever had.

    The food was mediocre at best. And they seemed to have messed up a number if reservations. That said, the place was packed so they must be doing something right.

    It was perfect for what we needed. The food was good, they were close to our destination and service was efficient. I don’t recommend sitting near the doorway on a cold night as the restaurant is so popular people hold the door open and I was having a blast of air on my back all night long. If I could’ve sat on the other side of the restaurant would’ve been much better, just something to keep in mind.
