    Great server, bruschetta was excellent! Chairs are terrible! Great atmosphere minus a noisy kid. Beautiful place for sure. Heard you were getting new chairs, we are pretty excited about that!!!

    Food was fantastic, server was great, ambiance was beautiful. Adding a soup or salad to entree would increase value rating.
