    We were sat in the middle of the restaurant so the the noise was loud but we expected that since it was a Saturday. The tables are quite close together so people's butts were hitting our table when they walked by. We came for both my parents birthday and was a bit disappointed that nothing was done or said even though I wrote it in the notes. The food was decent. Definitely needed salt for many of the dishes and the food came out lukewarm. It's not a huge issue but definitely wasn't warm. The dessert was good. The limoncelle cake was amazing!

    Excellent food, friendly service. Many tantalizing Options on the menu! A large party slowed down the service a bit and upped the noise level. I strongly suspect a return trip (which will be a definite) will demonstrate an even better experience.
