    Service was great. Food was, overall, good but not excellent. My beverage was very good, appetizer was good, but the side salad lacked taste and my veal was sitting in a runny sauce.

    Food was excellent. Service was great, but it did take a while to get our check. Loved the guy they had in there singing. Really added to the ambiance.
