    I think there may have been a substitute chef last night. Our boiled potatoes were hard, even after we sent them back the first time. They had the texture of steamed turnips. The order of fried Brussell sprouts served looked more like a bowl of charcoal. I was surprised they were even brought to the table. On the good side, the order of steamed Brussel sprouts was perfect as were the meatballs and eggplant parmigiana.

    They were not ready for us when we checked in . The table was not cleaned or set - took over 15 mins . The kitchen had to be down a few people bc food took forever to come - over an hr . The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance.

    First time there. We had to wait a few minutes for our reservation. Service could have been a little faster; but they were very busy. Food was good and the piano player was excellent!

    We were greeted by Maria the Mater D at the door. She was lovely welcoming. We actually arrived an hour early for our reservation and that was no problem. She seated us at a nice table and we were served fresh bread and their signature fava bean pesto and purée. My husband had a glass of Cabernet. My son had a Stella and I had something called purple rain a cocktail, which was just delicious for the meals. My husband had chicken and artichoke carts. My son had salmon and I had scallops with red cabbage risotto they were all delicious. The staff was very welcoming, and they operate under Maria’s guys as a well oiled machine we will definitely be returning there. She shook my hand at the end of the meal and said too please come back. We would be very welcome and overall relaxing delicious and delightful experience.

    Excellent food and service above expectations especially for a totally booked holiday night. Someone definitely thought the requirements for such a night and was welled prepared. Enough help, enough food( they did not run out of anything ) which is no easy challenge. Been there many times and will continue. Menu very diverse. Always great specials.
