Such a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful staff, and consistently excellent food. I’ve been dining there for 25 years. The best Chinese chicken salad, delectable duck pancakes/crepes, crab cakes, vegetable rice, beef, and dessert! Our server Cheryl was superb!

IMHO this is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve eaten in. Everything is Michelin quality from the moment you walk in the door. The host welcomes you and takes you to your table and the culinary experience begins. Chef Mark Mollica’s open kitchen is humming with food prep and the dishes are perfectly prepared. We’ve had several different dishes and they all are Michelin quality.

Great cocktails, food and service. The 8 hour lamb shank was amazing, the ratatouille and Brussels sprouts were amazing. Wine prices are too high. Côtes du Rhône at $60 is ridiculous
