    My pasta was mediocre. Hinted to waiter, but did not do anything to rectify bill. Brought home two apps to go/carry out, and both were awful. Will not eat here again.

    Service was very good. The added chicken to the salad was very dry. Friend said the fries with the burgers were limp and unflavorful

    I took my friend out for dinner for her birthday. When we finished eating, the server brought her a dessert complete with a candle. I had the lobster ravioli and she had the white fish. Both were delicious.

    Delicious scratch kitchen. The parmesan chicken and vodka rigatoni were so good. The cornbread with the maple honey was also fantastic. Service was wonderful and ambiance was nice. I would definitely return.

    Loved our experience! This was my third time and won’t be my last. The parmesan chicken always has me wanting to lick my plate. The rigatoni vodka pasta is also a winner. My boyfriend highly recommends the carrot cake, just not up my alley. Feels like you can’t miss with whatever you order!

    I have not been at the restaurant in a couple of years. I remember being a great place for food. This time was really disappointing. Not sure if menu has changed or the chef I has changed. Quality and flavor were terrible. The service was good. People working there make a great effort.
