    excellent food, large portions. Cancellation fee of $20 per person seems excessive

    The “Pork picatta-ish” was fabulous as was the rigatoni bolognese. We shared the harvest salad as well as the million dollar pie for dessert as it was our anniversary. A carefully crafted old fashioned was just that - so smooth!! A wonderful Malbec perfectly suited our entrees. Our server, Claude, was perfect for the occasion - attentive but not intrusive. Excellent restaurant!!

    Food was outstanding. The mushroom appetizers our friends said were great, duck wings fantastic, duck entree great, beef tenderloin and gnocchi wonderful. Artichoke heart appetizer were a little bland and too much batter but overall food is great. Anthony, our server was great. Music so loud in patio room we asked Anthony twice to turn down since we couldn’t even hear each other talking. He got it turned down to a pleasant level and then it was turned back up, so we asked again and got turned down for a short time and then loud again. A bit annoying too nice of a resteraunt to have the music blasting. Thanks.

    We loved the food and service! The only reason we gave it a 4 overall is that we tried to order 3 different wines on their menu and they were out of them. The owner came over and offered a very nice wine from her personal collection that was not on the menu which was fabulous . We will make this a stop in our rotation of Raleigh dinners.
