   Would definitely go back here again. The service is excellent and a throwback to the friendly, courteous, attentive service we used to see at restaurants a long time ago. The food is tasty. My only criticism is that the entree portions were a bit small for my appetite.

   A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience From start to finish, our meal was outstanding. The food was exquisite, and the service was just as impressive. The chef personally delivered some of our dishes, taking the time to reassure us about our food allergies—a level of care and attention that did not go unnoticed. They were incredibly respectful and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, making us feel completely at ease. Beyond the food, even the glassware became a topic of conversation. The red and white wine glasses were elegant, and the water glasses were equally beautiful, adding to the restaurant’s refined atmosphere. We all ordered pasta dishes, and every single one was a hit. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the quality of the ingredients truly shined. As for appetizers, the artichoke was an absolute standout—a must-try for anyone dining here. This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can’t wait to return!

    The meal itself was absolutely delightful, and I was impressed by the quality of both the food and the service throughout our visit. We really enjoyed our time there, and I was happy to leave a generous tip to show my appreciation for the staff’s efforts. However, I was extremely disappointed by the way we were rushed out after finishing our meal. We were there for 80 mins. It was my husand’s birthday. We had just completed our dinner and were still enjoying our time when the staff began prompting us to leave, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. This was especially disheartening after such a positive dining experience up until that point. While I understand that there are seating considerations, it would have been appreciated if we were allowed to finish our drinks and conversation without being made to feel hurried. I had hoped for a more considerate end to an otherwise enjoyable event.
