The food was just “okay”. For the cost of each dish, I expected a bit more. The appetizer selection felt to be missing actual appetizers that were shareable! We ordered about 6 pasta dishes…only one had seafood included, however all of the pasta dishes had a hint of seafood in them! Ending on a good note: the honey cake was the best part of the meal!

Sadly the food was not so great. We all had pastas but 2 of them were kind of dry and not very flavorful I was a bit disappointed since I took my family there for Xmas dinner. It wasn’t the experience I was hoping for, won’t be back. The bruschetta appetizer was good but needed more bread way too many tomatoes for only like 4 slices of bread. The dessert we got was the honey cake with ice cream that was delicious

Our server was very kind. Unfortunately, when we got our bill, our server did not give us our container that was holding our leftovers, which was just a mishap. Our server was kind to keep the container on the side since the table had limited space. And unfortunately, we forgot to ask for our container, and our server did not remember to bring it to the table along with the bill. Unfortunately, I didn't eat much of the meal, so regrettably, we paid for a meal that was hardly eaten. And by the time we realized we had forgotten our container, it was too late. We were already on the freeway. We did like the ambiance. Thank you.

The food was good and price was good. I guess the reason I put 4 instead of 5 is because they did not acknowledge my sister's birthday even though when I made reservation I had stated it was for an occasion and it was for a birthday. When I let the waiter know my disappointment in no acknowledgement, she just smiled and didn't really care so now it was twice that it was not acknowledged. Sad but whatever moving o to other restaurants that make guests feel good.
