                    Went for Valentine's Day. We've been a couple of times before this and the food and service have been great. We both got pasta this time. Wife got the mushroom ragu and it was pheno,inal. I had the thai pasta and it was also very goo. We ended with the chocolate pecan pue which was excellent. Service from Alexa was 5 star.

                    Off the wagon food marked up. Service and quality of food doesn’t match the price point they are trying to push. Some will like it because they don’t know any better.

                    We had a 6:15 reservation, arrived early 6:05 was greeted and seated immediately right in front of hostess stand. Waited 15-20 and not once were we acknowledged no water, no taking a drink order and no-one saying I'll be right with you. In this time the table next to us finished their oysters the table was cleaned and waiter checked on them several times. A party of 6 entered and was seated and was greeted by a waitress who promptly took drink orders. The restaurant was not full or overly busy there were at least 2 servers that we noticed walking by us several times. We've been to the restaurant numerous times for lunch and dinner always good service and food, very disappointing.
