Very nice place and the people were fantastic. The food was excellent. It would have been nice if they had told me about the pumpkin soup before I was half way through my meal, because it was delicious. The pumpkin pie dessert was not very authentic, it was too cold. Overall we can’t wait to return for a very good meal.

Cipriani was great with wine recs and knowledgeable. Our waiter was from Peru and was also on point with the recommendations. We were a large group and all had different cuts of meats. They were all cooked to perfection. The service was amazing and I know they also get their meats from the distributor meat giants and they too are amazing!

Menu was slightly changed. I miss the cauliflower buffalo wings and the vegan options are less than before, but still thankful to have those items offered. Drinks are great. Happy Hour prices are perfect. Regular prices seem to have gone up, but everything has!
