Absolutely outstanding. The sirloin was a huge cut, and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had. We will definitely be returning soon.

Great service and food. Highly recommend. Good wine selection that's reasonably priced. Excellent chicken parm. Excellent creme brulee, could use fresh berries to break up the rich custard. Our table was a little tight next to another table and the wall. We would go back.

The food was amazing - calamari, first rate! Service was so so. One meal out of four was delivered 15-minutes after everyone else’s-nothing was proffered to make up for the wait and so that was a disappointment. Had to ask for our take home box because the waitress forgot to bring it and we had to wait a very long time for the check. The restaurant was not busy at all so we couldn’t figure out what was up. I would go back, though, because the food was wonderful!!

I do realize that it is Christmas, but there was a party going on in the main bar. Felt like it was very disruptive, and the entire restaurant was very loud

Love the food here. It’s been consistent for decades. The service is extremely attentive and every staff member treats you like they want you to come back so everything is high quality. If I were on d€ath row, gnocchi aurora with scallops on the side is my last supper. The croquette is a nostalgia piece; please never remove it from the menu. Second floor window seat tucked behind the stairs is my favorite table, but downstairs is also very nice. Also note they have complementary valet parking which is a gift!
