   This was our first time there after driving by many times. I’m glad we decided to try it. Excellent experience from the service to the food everything was excellent!

   I don't understand why they were empty on a Sunday at 530p. Food was amazing. We had six adults eating and everyone had a great meal. Services was great. Seafood was fresh. Mixed drinks were great too

   We have eaten there twice and both times had a great meal. The portions are plentiful and well cooked.

   We had a wonderful birthday dinner. The food was delicious. The service was excellent and we will definitely return!! Our server was Chris. He did an amazing job. Very attentive. The Antipasti was huge. More than enough for 4 of us. Our dishes included shrimp scallop scampi, swordfish, fruit e de mare and a lobster shrimp special. All of the portions were very large . The cocktails were delicious and we had chocolate lava cake for dessert along with after dinner drinks.

   I was unable to eat my chicken marsala because it tasted overwhelmingly of alcohol—so strong that every bite was unpleasant, clearly due to the wine not being properly cooked off. When the waitress took the barely touched plate away, she failed to acknowledge that I hadn’t eaten my meal. Any competent server would ask, “Was everything okay?” but she said nothing. When she asked if I wanted a box, I politely explained, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat it because it was so boozy—the alcohol didn’t seem to have cooked off.” Her only response? A dismissive, “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.” No offer to replace it, no attempt to make things right—just indifference. A professional server would have immediately asked, “Can we get you something else?” Instead, she simply walked away. To make matters worse, when the check arrived, the inedible dish was still on the bill. It’s baffling that a restaurant would rather charge a customer for a meal they couldn’t eat than take the simple step of making it right. A small gesture of good service could have easily resolved this situation, but their complete lack of professionalism ensured that I won’t be returning.

   Dinner was great as always. Food and service were quick and delicious. Server was attentive. It tends to get a little loud but to be expected on a Saturday night.

   Early reservation on a snowy Saturday evening. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Started with signature cocktail campfire for the hubs and Magia's version of a cosmo for me. Bread had a good chew with a crispy crust, enjoyed with oil provided Caesar salad was overdressed and a bit soggy. Appreciated the anchovies as many restaurants no longer offer them. Calamari fritti was perfect with just a touch of salt and lemon juice to season. Second round of drinks were a glass of crisp pinot grigio and an old fashioned that came right to the top of a rocks glass Chicken piccata was a bit tough, but sauce was flavorful with plenty of capers and artichokes over al dente linguine. Swordfish puttanesca had too much topping, green olives overpowered the tomato. Not sure if it was served over soggy rice, or a poorly executed risotto. Finished up with cannoli trio, were very cold and not freshly filled. Overall good service, nice room, but food could be better.

    Great food, service, and ambiance! It was a bit too loud to talk amongst all of us, but that won’t deter us from going back!
