    All the usual menu items were delicious, as usual, and we tried the squid ink spaghetti for the first time, which was great! However, the Korean BBQ special was disappointing.

    There was too much oil on my calamari and salad. Otherwise I thought it was all delicious.

    Dining out before a show at The Drake we enjoyed our experience here very much. Had a comfortable booth by the window, our waiter Matt was awesome. Attentive, friendly and polite even when he was very busy. Will definitely go back when we’re in town again.
