   I was very underwhelmed by the steak salad ordered from the list of specials. I left still hungry because of the limited menu for people with food allergies. No gluten free bread available for pizzas. The server was not very helpful with alternatives when allergies were shared. Great ambiance and cocktails though.

   Francesca was fantastic. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. I had the pork chop and it was perfectly cooked. The Laphroig element was new to me and nice change from the wine I had enjoyed all day. Fucili (spelled that wrong) pasta was incredible. I snuck a bite or two off her plate when she went to the ladies room. They brought her perfuta rolls for dessert that were lovely. Hit the mark on every way for this meal. Will absolutely come back soon.

   Excellent food and service. Everything we ordered turned out great. Lamb chops and branding special were outstanding. Loved the Pom martini

   We sat for 2.5 hrs, dinner, dessert and coffee. The mgr kept staring at us which was disrespectful as we overstayed our welcome. The hostess did ask us to leave as someone was waiting for the table. I’ve never been asked to ever leave a restaurant in my life, this was irritating 👎

   We’ve given this restaurant multiple chances, but the results continue to disappoint. While the service is genuine and the food shows potential, something fundamental just doesn’t click. To their credit, they accommodated my wife’s food allergies by modifying the Romini Lettuce dish, which turned out quite nice. However, management issues became evident when, halfway through our salad, a server hovered over the table, attempting to clear our plates, announcing that the main courses were ready. We asked for more time to finish our starter and enjoy our wine, but as expected, our entrées ended up sitting under a heat lamp in the kitchen. The result? My wife’s John Dory dish, which could have been wonderful, arrived as warm, smoked fish. My tagliatelle was undercooked. The Bolognese sauce was disappointingly mediocre, and the traditional shaved Parmigiano was neither offered nor delivered. To top it off, a simple request for a spoon to assist with eating my pasta was ignored and never fulfilled. The restaurant shows potential, but poor execution and management continue to overshadow what could be an enjoyable dining experience.

    I went with my girlfriend for a quiet lunch. We had a lot to discuss. The food was very good, but our server was a real motor mouth. Very pleasant, but he went on and on. He was very sweet, but was not picking up our cues to move on. He kept suggesting that he sit down and join us. A little much to say the least. Someone should gently remind him why he’s there.
