   We had a party of 6, with most of us having a wonderful meal. We shared a delicious burrata for appetizers and profiteroles for dessert. I had the cod with mushrooms and spinach which was delicious. My husband enjoyed the shrimp scampi which was not really a classic scampi, as it was with a tomato based sauce, but it was very good. The salads had a bit too much dressing, so if you don't like that, be sure to ask for dressing on the side.

   Excellent menu and the food was great! Our table of four had two orders of the Whitefish, one order of the Salmon and one order of the Eggplant Pasta. Considering how crowded the restaurant was at 5:30 on a Saturday evening, service was very good. The restaurant is a little too packed in terms of close proximity of tables, which contributes to an almost deafening noise level, making it hard to carry on a conversation at a smallish table for 4.

   Wonderful food, great service, noise made it difficult to talk but that’s the price of going to a popular place.

   The restaurant is being renovated so we were seated in their party space which didn't offer a pleasant ambiance. The service was very good and all of us enjoyed the food and drinks.

   It was a very busy Saturday night. We got sat in the back room. It’s not very pretty but new paint is nicer. Our waiter was great ! The food was delicious. It was very pricey.

    They jacked up the food price! Ordered the following with my noted quality: - Carpaccioo for appetizer: Good, but smaller quantity - Salade Francesca's - So bad I returned - Caramel Fritte - Tried some and returned - Peche Cod and mushroom - Barelly acceptable - Two glasses of red wine I was given full refund for salad, but no refund for Calamari Fritte that waiter Moses said he will Disappointed for the quality and the jacked up price
