    The restaurant separated the bar area from the dining areas, which are several smaller rooms. Quiet music plays in the background. The servers were quiet and attentive. I had the wild mushroom risotto with filet mignon tips, asparagus and gorgonzola. It was excellent.

    Food was ok. Main meal was good. Meatball app had no flavor and was like rubber. Service slow. Asked three times for drinks then they lost our order. One of the wine glasses was not a full serving. Bread brought to table after apps were finished and rolls were burned. Where you get seated has a lot to do with experience. We were in hallway with no character. They need to get act together.

    Service was very good, food was plentiful / tasty, and the Italian Margarita was amazing!! Some kind expressions by owners at end of meal / evening added to the experience, thank you!! Nice vibes, we were inside by an open window looking out. Thank you for a nice dining experience, will definitely dine again.

    We enjoyed our dinner. The setting was charming and the food very good to excellent across 5 diners. It was very busy, and unfortunately our drinks took a while to arrive and at least 1 glass of wine was incorrect (and our server did not seem to know that a Pinot Grigio is a white wine). Then, although we were asked when checking in, and we announced to the waiter that we were headed to a show, we had to wait quite a while for the check and then to pay, and wound up scrambling a bit to get out and to the show on time. Will go back, but maybe not ahead of a show, or with a hope to get a different server.

    We will not be back. Arrived without a reservation, because before arriving, I checked, and there were SEVERAL times available, and I did not think it was necessary with every time slot open. Once we arrived, the host proceeded to seat a man w/o a reservation before us, then asked us to step to the side as she seated several people behind us, because “they had a reservation” so I proceeded to get on the app, and make the reservation for that exact moment, so she would seat us. She was so rude, and made us feel uncomfortable from the moment we came in. As this was our first time here, I did appreciate that our server let us know it was his first day, and asked for our patience. Totally get it. He tried his best, but was clearly overwhelmed. The host who was rude upon our arrival, was making an attempt to help him, but in doing so, took my beverage menu before I had a chance to ordered a drink, so I had to ask for it back…THEN she cleared my plate without asking before I was finished with my salad. The food was not thing special and because of the experience with the host…we absolutely will not be back. Totally disappointed.
