    Nice ambiance, interesting cocktails, timely/friendly service and good food. The only downside is seating in an area off to the side of the main dining room that looks like a dingy corner of the restaurant. We were initially seated there and when we asked the hostess to sit in the main dining room we were told that, since we were a party of three, we couldn't be seated there as it was only for tables of two. When a waiter saw our disappointment, he told us that he would combine two tables and seat us there. After that the evening was enjoyable! Hats off to an exceptional wait staff. Customer service training required for the host.

    We selected this restaurant for my birthday dinner. Everything was great. The location was close to home, and there was plenty of parking. We did make a reservation for an early time, so seating was quick. Our waitress and bus boy were fast, very friendly, and professional. Our excellent meal started with the deviled eggs with BACON - soooo good! Then I had the risotto. Risotto is hard to come by; not many restaurants serve it. The Primavera risotto was so good! My mother had the Shrimp spicy pasta (I forgot the name). Omg, the shrimp was delicious. I didn't try the pasta as I don't like spicy food, but my mom said it was really good. Everything was excellent!

    The food is consistently good here with a great varied menu. Cocktails were delightful. We were especially impressed with the service this visit. Our French fries were undercooked so our server, Collin, immediately replaced them with crispy ones! The manager even appeared to check that we were satisfied. What service!

    The drinks arrived after we were already half way through our appetizers. The cornbread and risotto were bland. One of the entrees arrived 10 minutes after the others were already brought to the table. Didn’t clear appetizer dishes before or after entrees arrived. Overall, it was not a good experience.

    The waiter was not attentive. He took our order and we never saw him again until he brought the dessert menu. The bussers were great and I had to ask them for pepper for my salad. No one checked to see if our food was okay. Our meals we very good. We ordered the triple gelato for dessert. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was a minus 5. The gelato was melted and runny and unedible. We may the restaurant again but service is what they offer and ours was lacking. I definately would not order the dessert again and if this was our waiter I would ask for someone else. Harvey S-
