Appetizers were underwhelming at best. Our server seemed more focused on turning the table over than allowing us to enjoy our evening. We had been seated for 25 minutes and asked a total of 6 times if we were ready to order. He became visibly frustrated and remained so throughout our meal. We will not be returning.

The food and service were great, as always. Restaurant unusually loud do to an influx of college sorority celebrations but typically not so noisy.

The food was excellent, but the staff kind of rushed us at every part of the meal, while simultaneously forgetting things like refilling drinks, offering cheese for the pasta and bringing out bread. We had an 8:15 reservation, but the repeated asking if we were ready to order, and asking us if they could take apps we were still eating, and asking if we they could wrap dinner as we were still eating it was really annoying and ruined the experience a bit. We probably wouldn’t go back but would definitely not recommend any reservation past 7:30.
