Live music was very good but we were sitting right next to it so it was a little too loud to have easy conversation. The band was very good and they should use them as a venue to go to listen and have cocktails on a few evenings instead of during the dinner hour. I think they could get a following if they did that.

She is personable, knowledgeable about the wine list and respected our desire for a “dining experience” so didn’t rush us through our wonderful evening. I had the arugula salad, quite delicious and I liked the fresh mushrooms on it. My husband had the Caesar salad and enjoyed his as well. Our entrees were presented beautifully and piping hot. Which I LOVE! I enjoyed and highly recommend the sea bass. And my hubby really liked his pork chop. Melissa treated us to a limoncello as an anniversary treat. I loved this restaurant! Well done by the front and back of the house.

I ordered a dish that was delicious. The noise level is high. Some softer surfaces need to be installed in the decor to reduce that. Overall, we had a very nice dinner and created a nice memory.

My pappardelle bolognese was the best I ever had.
