    This was our second visit here and it certainly did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were accommodated immediately. In spite of the fact that the room was full Moments later, we were greeted by the owner, who is very attentive to all his guest Our waiter, Adam, was completely upbeat and anxious to satisfy us, even though we seated at 9:30 PM. The chopped Italian salad was amazing followed by a very special macaroni and vodka sauce apparently how specialty talked with fresh Barata We ordered two steaks for Kansas City and the cowboy Both perfectly cooked served with two sides mashed potatoes and cream spinach. The spinach was exceptional. The mashed potatoes very nice but nothing special. We live about 20 miles from this restaurant. Find it worth the travel

    We were a party of four on a relatively quiet Thursday night. We were seated right away and our server stopped by soon after. We were brought water while we reviewed the menus and rolls soon after we ordered. I had duck confeit, my wife had a steak sandwich, the other couple had a pasta dish and burger. While the food was well prepared and had good flavor, it did not overwhelm any of us. My duck dish came with only a leg and thigh, which I feel was on the small side for the price. What did they do with the breast since there was no other duck dish on the menu. There were pieces of duck with cassolle, but it would not add up to the breast. While we will probably visit this restaurant again, I think the portions could be a little bigger.
