We ordered calamari. Not sure what they brought to table. Looked like wide cream colored bracelets. Tasted horrible. Staff took off check which was really nice. Beef Bolognese had beautiful noodles, but the beef taste was awkward… Very bland. Fettuccini Alfred table side was best meal. Long wait for drinks, service, and check. Spent over 4 hours there.

This restaurant has a good menu, is in a great location, and has a good ambiance. It's the service that is lacking. Our server vanished after taking our orders. Another server, who had a full table load already, helped out but there was only so much she could do. One entree came out a full 10-15 minutes before the other three (that person was nearly finished by that point). Three of the four entrees were good, the fourth was nearly inedible, however no one ever checked to see how things were until it was time for the bill. Can't recommend until they improve their service.

Our server Cheryl was hysterical and awesome. The food was delicious. A little slow, but we were celebrating our anniversary so we didn't mind.

Sat outside on the veranda next to the pond. Pretty relaxing setting. Service was very good and the food was served hot. Tomato sauce on the chicken parm was a bit acidic, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. The past was also terrific. Warm bread and butter was excellent. Eggplant was tender and tasty.

On a Sunday evening we were only people in restaurant until one other couple came in. Eggplant parm was tasty but cold in the middle. Very small portion for the price. Pizza crust not cooked completely leading to a soggy mess.

Food was good. There is not enough servers or bartenders. 1 bartender to serve the entire restaurant is long wait times and a overwhelmed bartender

Hi. This is our 2nd time and we brought 2 friends. We had a reservation so we actually got our table a little early-which was nice. Restaurant pretty crowded and it was warm until the end of our meal, when the AC seemed to kick on (around 830pm or so). Music was decent but couldn't really hear. Server was pleasant but we needed more water. Decaf cappuccino was excellent. My swordfish was amazing- after I sent it back for the double veggies I asked for instead of potatoes. My husband was disappointed in the branzino- too much vinegar? The shrimp and scallops pasta was good but my friend wished their was some spinach or veggies with it. The steak and grilled shrimp tasted good but my other friend was disappointed that steak was small and thin. Drinks and bread good. Definitely a better visit than our 1st one the week you opened. Pretty pricey menu. Maybe offer salads as an option with dinners? Thanks

Our entrees were absolutely delicious! Our server tried his best but it was apparent that he was way too busy. The restaurant set up needs help. The ambiance is lacking, but you can tell they are trying. I would order takeout but wouldn't eat in the restaurant. Wine selection was sad and our menu still had "winter" cocktails (it's July). Just do better.

Food? The beet salad was excellent, fiocchetti pear and gorgonzola was good with an excellent cream sauce, & the fettuccine alla painted lemon was ok. The fettuccine had no spice except for the pesto. We didn't have dessert. Everything was pricey for the quality of the food. It was pouring that night, so ran to the bar pavilion and talked to the bartender until the rain slowed. He was great, so we will definitely go back to have a cocktail at the outside bar.

The food and restaurant was great! The only downside was the service. Things were slow but I think it's because they were short handed.
