The food was quite good. My wife’s brussels sprouts were overcooked, but they promptly replaced them. We had an outstanding server. My one star overall rating is because someone who identified himself as a “manager“ was unbelievably rude. I asked about changing tables because it was hot where we were sitting under a heat lamp, and he made a point of explaining in an abrupt and dismissive tone that it was Valentine’s Day and that we couldn’t move. I have never been spoken to so rudely in a restaurant. When I asked him to stop, his response was simply “leave my restaurant.” I asked him if he was the owner, he said no. He then said he would bring the owner to our table, but he never did, nor did he return. His behavior was appalling and unacceptable.

Frutti de Mare and the Seafood Risotto was absolutely amazing and the drinks paired really well and were strong. We made a reservation for Valentines day and it was absolutely worth it. The only thing that stops it from being a 5 star is the bread was not served to the table and when it was, it was cold and hard.

I had the mushroom ravioli and instead of a cream sauce, it was drenched in a watery liquid that was about the consistency of skim milk. Very disappointing. I commented about it to the server but he didn’t offer to replace it.

Usually, I've had good food at this restaurant, but it must have been a bad night for the chef; everything was overcooked.

I never do reviews, but with our experience it’s needed... Our 12 oz steak was actually 6 oz and overcooked. The beef short rib risotto was dumped with salt. The chicken Picatta was dry. The mahi mahi was the only good dish. Our servers took over 30 min to swipe our cards and then brought us checks with complete wrong items on it. They never asked how anything was. Haven’t had a restaurant experience like this before. Can’t recommend this place to anyone.

I went here with a few friends for my birthday dinner and we had a lovely experience! The food was incredible and comparable to meals I’ve had in Italy. I also got a raspberry mojito and it was delicious. Would recommend!
