    A friend & I came here for lunch. We sat at the bar & the bartender was the perfect host. Personable, kind, knowledgeable & funny. He made the perfect wine & meal recommendation. The fish was cooked to perfection & had a sauce that was divine. We were celebrating & he surprised us with a special dessert!

    The food and service were outstanding! This dining experience exceeded our expectations. We were celebrating a very special occasion and the entire staff made this a very personal and meaningful evening. It was memorable and we won’t wait for another special occasion to come back.

    All was good! Ordered the pizza. Not sure I’d go back to a place that’s supports Planned Parenthood. The one menu item I wanted donated $1 to PP. disappointing I can’t go out to dinner and enjoy a non political evening

    All food I ordered was delicious! Especially the steak that came with basil, Lucola, and small onion is one of the steaks I've tried ♥️ And our server was so friendly, I ordered the menu she recommended, and everything was satisfactory !! I will be there soon again

    Ambiance was great. I recommend requesting a seat by the window or main area. Drinks and food were wonderful. Dear I say best rigatoni in the city!? Also, highly recommend the olive oil gelato for a sweet finish!
