Our server, Arturo, was amazing, and he was able to answer all of my questions about the menu. The bread service had just a hint of red sauce that was really good. The seafood pasta was also very tasty and filling. We will definitely be coming back sometime on another date night.

The tables were very close together. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and professional. My steak was overcooked but they provided a perfectly cooked steak within minutes. The lobster bisque was delicious. The desserts missed the mark unfortunately. We would recommend toning down the noise and providing a bit more intimacy for a better experience.
