Always love this place. Super friendly staff -- from greeter to server to bus folks. Food was delicious -- I don't like mushrooms very much, for example, and their mushroom bolognese is TASTY! And the food is beautiful as well as tasty. It's not a cheap place, but for a reliable, tasty, quality meal, can't go wrong.
