    The food and ambience were good. Our waiter became annoyed with us at some point and was short and less than personable which negatively impacted our overall experience.

    The lasagna was drowning in sauce, with very little noodle or cheese. We have eaten here for years, and this was the first bad meal we have ever had.

    Waiter looks unhappy not attentive we had a customer at the bar. Tell someone that we had been looking for the waiter so the waitress came. The food had no flavor. Sad we didn’t have a good experience

    Overall poor experience. Failed to live up to iour expectations and its past reviews. Restaurant came highly recommended from our hotel’s concierge. Service ,with exception of the hostess, was what you would expect at a food restaurant. Server was rushed, inattentive , and lacked follow through. Felt like we were a bother and not a guest. Definitely not a fine dining experience. Changed tables due to multiple flies at out table. One fly died on my appetizer plate. New table was not set properly not salt/pepper or flowers and lamp like the other tables. Cloth appeared dirty. Food was not great. Some food was cold and others lacked flavor and freshness. Grilled artichokes tasted canned and had not been grilled. Stuffed mushrooms did not taste like crab. Flavored more of tuna fish and lacked texture. One positive was great bread! Truffle sauce was good. Overall not worth the money.

    Food was excellent. But came out way too fast. Hadn’t even finished our drinks and bread before the food came out. I would say we were there about 50 minutes. Felt very rushed.

    Charcuterie board is always epic. My holiday nog cocktail was great! Her holiday martini was a bit heavy on the heavy cream. We will return!

    We had an enjoyable date night dinner. We started with the artichokes. After that we had the pasta with ragu and the ravioli. The food and service were both excellent. We look forward to returning to try more menu items soon.

    It was nice, but when I came home, I found out that they had charged me double, the bill was payed twice from my account. They said that they would bring me a new bill, I put on tip, and they charged me for two bills instead of one. This is irritating, I have to use a lot of time, contact my bank and so on. C.Roppen
