    One of us has mobility issues and need to use a scooter. We eat early to avoid crowds. The staff was incredibly nice about getting the scooter off of the street and parked out of the way. On top of that, the food was really good. Service was also outstanding even after the good impression with the scooter. It really helps that it was before the evening rush, but you would be surprised how often the service is poor just before the dinner rush.

    Chicken Parmesan disappointing. Very, very small portion. Nothing special about the menu. Good service.

    We sat outside but near the door which made it a bit cramped but not disruptive. Server kiosk was right next to us so easy to get service and everyone was friendly. Busy night downtown so noise was what we expected. Food was excellent and the drinks were commensurate with the menu and fantastic as well. The pumpkin spice espresso martinis were consumed quickly and in succession. The salmon and bolognese were fantastic. The meat and cheese board was the table favorite above all.

    Great food and ambience. Chose inside seating and its a little noisy but it was a good choice since there was a little sprinkle as we left.
