    Great food and very nice atmosphere. Service was very slow but I think it was just a one off today. They did a great job serving other tables but I don’t think we had an assigned server and had to sit awhile until they took our order after our appetizer.

    Our dinner here was outstanding. We went on Valentine’s Day, which is a crazy day for any restaurant, but they did a wonderful job. Our table was ready at the reservation time, service was prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed every dish we had, from appetizer to dessert. And the fresh bread with dips…wow. I could eat that all day!
