    I ordered tha cannelloni for lunch today and it was excellent. But it might be a good idea to have a lunch menu that offers a somewhat smaller portion of a few of your menu selections, at a reduced cost, as my meal was certainly dinner-sized, and I found it too much. It’s a very nice venue and was pleasantly quiet. We will definitely be back again.

    The brisket is the highlight for us. All the sides are very good, especially the hot mess. Food came out quickly and the service was great.

    Nice looking place with great ambiance. Accommodating to dietary needs. Food was delicious. Just didn’t find that you got enough cheese to accommodate the amount of side foods you got with your fondue. When you add veggies and protein, you should get more cheese than you would get with just the bread basket. But all around, a yummy meal with great service.
