Had a wonderful anniversary dinner at one of our go to places. Excellent service by David which started off with a glass of champagne on the house. Very classy gesture followed by relaxing dinner. The place was packed for a Monday night and suggest to make reservations. Won’t be disappointed

The appetizers: calamari , bruschetta were very good. The salads were very good and well. The entrees were mixed with the salmon being very good as well as the eggplant Parmesan. The petrale was fair to good. The best part of the evening was our waiter James. He was great in every aspect and is the best waiter I have encountered in a very long time. I eat out regularly and James was excellent. I hope his employer realizes what a great server he has.

The food was good, especially the clam chowder. The server was pleasant, engaging but got my entree wrong. The location of the restaurant was discouraging as it was on a dark street where it was the only business open.

We came for happy hour but it ended at 5. I thought it used end at 530 or 6. Oh well. We had a nice dinner but I really think it’s not right to sell 4 pieces of bread for $10. It should be complementary. The service was good. Cameron was attentive and not pushy.
