   The restaurant was exceptionally busy, so service was very slow. We were not offered an opportunity to order more drinks, the water glasses were only filled on request, and an apology for the service was only given after we enquired why it was taking so long. We were told a large party upstairs was the reason. We were there over 2 hours before getting our appetizer. We were given 4 complementary and excellent desserts to share among the 4 of us as an apology. The food was mostly excellent although one diner's Linguini frutti di mare had a thin bland tomato sauce and the seafood pieces were skimpy. They also ran out of bread. Knowing they were expecting a large party as well as having every table filled on a Saturday night, more staff should have been planned for. The restaurant is a charming setting for a lunch or dinner and we have been there previously but many years ago. I would consider going back but perhaps on a week night or at lunch time as the food was enjoyable.

   It was a great evening out with our family. The food and appetizers were very tasty, with portions just the right size. The service was attentive and not intrusive. One of our favourite places to go for special occasions.

   Food was enjoyable (not spectacular but still good). Service was friendly. Ambience was nice. It just didn’t line up with the cost.

   Very good professional services. Reasonable prices for excellent food. I had angel hair with lobster sauce which is its signature dish. My husband had the 10oz New York striplloin. So tasty 👍🏻 Definitely will go again.
