   Interesting setting. High ceiling, subdued lighting, soft music, bar, ~ 6 cocktail lounge tables, and the rest were regular dining tables. The dipping bread was a tasty focaccia and the chopped herbs, balsamic vinegar, and lemon flavored olive oil was excellent. I had pan fried Branzino filets, topped with fresh mango salsa and over mashed potatoes and nicely cooked green beans, baby carrots and broccoli florets. There was a wide selection of American, Italian, French and even New Zealand wines.

   We have eaten here several times and it constantly excellent. The food is always very well prepared and presented. The ambience is very pleasant and the service is excellent. Last night we had the special of pistachio crusted sole over truffle mashed potato’s. It was wonderful. The portions are very generous so my wife and I usually share a salad and a main course. Try it, you’ll like it.

   Excellent dining experience from start to finish. Friendly, professional wait staff, absolutely delicious food, including seafood risotto and seafood pappardelle. Go there. You won't be disappointed.

   Our group of five really enjoyed the food. We tried a few salads and the calamari. The short ribs steak frites and pasta we had were very delicious. The profiteroles and lava cake was wonderful as well. The servers were good. We were glad we were seated to the back because it would have been too cold from the door opening and closing if we were any closer to the door. Also glad we had reservations otherwise we probably would’ve had a long wait.

    Food wasn’t good or hot at all. Definitely not worth the price for the Valentine Day special..
