The food was mediocre: chicken Marsala prepared with canned mushrooms! The Caesar salad dressing was tasty and not too heavy, but for some reason, like in many other restaurants, there was a lot of white (stem) of the lettuce, much of it browning around the edges, rather than green leafy romaine lettuce. The interior of the restaurant was extremely busy (Friday night evening around 8:00), so quite noisy. The staff was happy to accommodate our reservation request for outdoor seating (we had to wait a few minutes), which wasn’t as loud.

Service was prompt and adequate with no pretenses of personal input or personal customer service. Food was tasty and came hot and delicious. Portions are large. The room was very loud. Almost beyond reasonable conversation. Then some live music added to the high volume. Cocktail service was disappointing. The bar uses tiny little glasses. Not sure how many ounces, but not many. Drinks lacked adequate Ice, but with those tiny glasses it made sense. My manhattan was mostly vermouth, but the Gin and Tonic was fine. $15 for those tiny glasses makes me wish we would have had the wine. Nice big wine list is offered.

My Nana’s Ragu was basically spaghetti with meatballs and sausage with about a pound of pasta to make it look like a lot for the money. I get it, everything is expensive but this just did not justify the price. Will not be back
