We sat at the bar for our meal. The bartenders were very pleasant and attentive. The food was very good. The only thing I didn’t like was valet parking. They blocked off access to the parking lot so I wasn’t able to park my own car. Let patrons have the choice whether to valet park or park on their own.

Its in the details. Food was excellent. Portion’s generous. Service is the issue. Staff was pleasant but inattentive and under educated. Server did not know what dressing came with chopped salad and did not know what osso bucco ravioli was. We waited at least 20 minutes after completing our main course to get a desert menu. The glass top table was soaked with condensation from our beverage glasses, tablecloth or coasters please. The ravioli was very good, but a teaspoon more filling would have made it excellent. The tiramisu was different and possibly the best we have ever had, including that in Rome. A bit more attention to details elevates this restaurant to one of the absolute best.
