    Very festive night with wonderful food and great service Although I rated it on the higher noise level it did not interfere with our table conversation or hearing back round music…but added to its festive atmosphere .

    We’ve been eating here for years and it’s been inconsistent. Summer/ busy season was better. Last visit was disappointing. Food was very very bland and a whole lotta too much cheese. Wait staff aimed to please.

    The server was rushing us and distracted. The SeaBass and vegetables were cold and undercooked. The chicken Alfredo was OK except for the chicken which was pure white and was a terrible presentation. The Bolognese was not true. Bolognese tasted like someone had taken a frozen dinner popped it in the microwave and served it. Once again, a terrible presentation. My brother wanted to order the lasagna and was told he had to sit in the bar to eat lasagna. We were with our 86 year-old mother who couldn’t get up the stairs otherwise we would’ve done so. So after spending over $300 we left with buyers remorse for sure. Won’t be back. Too many good restaurants around support.

    We had the filet Sicilian style. Steak was done perfectly. The seasoning was extremely salty. Our waiter brought us the herb seasoning without salt and that was perfect!
