    Great location, beautiful building! Scott was our server and he helped us in our decision on the menu. The food was gloriously delicious and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend to my friends! We split a salad, we also split the fish special, which was so yummy, and the ravioli w short ribs and the most creamy sauce! ! Scott assisted in paring the wine.
