    We had a reservation here for Valentine’s Day and there was a special prix fixe menu. I wish they hadn’t done that, because it wasn’t worth $70 per person. For starters, we had the Sicilian meatballs and wild shrimp scampi, which were pretty good. The entrees were horrible. I had the lobster and shrimp tortelloni, which was all pasta and no meat, very bland. My husband had the braised short rib but there were carrots, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and risotto all mixed together. He said my short ribs I make are better. We asked for the check, not even wanting to stay for dessert. Our server never told us her name, and service was horrible. We left most of the food on our plates, paid for nothing and left. Served was supposed to bring us our dessert that was included in the price to take home but never came back, so we left. Probably won’t return.

    Great 3 course for valentines. Was not a fan but of the butter cake with bourbon sauce-completely changed the flavor of the delicious cake. Thankfully our server offered us another dessert. Will return.

    Everything was fantastic! I mentioned to the server my husband and I would split the salad. She brought it out already split on separate plates! Nice touch!!

    Food was delicious but the service was extremely slow. Very loud so do not expect to have a quiet dinner out.
