Excellent food and service! We were seated immediately and were offered drinks quickly before ordering our food. Our server let us know the raw bar was busy and our seafood tower may arrive a bit later than normal, which was a great heads up. However it arrived quickly and was delicious! They were very busy but never felt that way. Great service and amazing food!

We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our server Carlos was attentive and made menu recommendations. The food was delicious. My only comment is a strive to find spumoni that is made with cherry ice cream as is the tradition. That would be my only suggestion.

We had 8ppl at 530pm, and it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious. Our service was top-notch. The band didn't start playing until 7 p.m., so we had a nice quiet dinner and conversation. Once the music started up, it became a little hard to have a conversation, but the visual aspect of the people dancing and the music was very entertaining and enjoyable.
