    The food was very good. My boyfriend loved his appetizer and entree (shellfish both times) and cheesecake. I enjoyed my maple glazed brussels sprouts appetizer and thought that the salmon was pretty good but could have had more taste. The service was excellent. The heated garden looked absolutely delightful, but we opted to sit inside for more warmth. Definitely a positive dining experience!

    Would have liked more side choices. And our club soda was pretty flat. No fizz. However it’s beautiful to look at and look out over the city. And the food was excellent. Try the octopus delicious! Fillet steak was great.

    Great food. Lots of variety. The menu is large, but they also have off menu specials like chicken parm, fettuccine primavera, etc. I had the osso buco tonight and it was delicious and a large portion. Wife had a wonderful pasta dish. Great wine selections and cocktails too. We’re here almost every week. It’s that good. Better than good. Great service too. Cozy little place. I especially like the soft music, Andrea Botcheli , in the background and the nice ambiance.
