In a word, Exceptional!! From the deliciously hand-crafted martini's with the most amazing hand stuffed blue cheese olives (any place who serves them should take note, because there a lot of posers out there and it makes a huge difference in the martini). The professional and friendly service was outstanding and not rushed, which is important when you are out for a nice dining experience. We began our food journey with the appetizer special of eggplant rollatini which was superb and flavorful followed by perfectly prepared rack of lamb and salmon. We will definitely be back and you should mark this one down for your food journey. Great ambiance as well!!

Our party of 6 had a lovely round table in the front which allowed us to visit and enjoy each others' company. Our dining courses were paced well, not too rushed, not too slow, and we all enjoyed our selections. My cocktail, "the bitter end", was served in a heavy crystal glass that matched the elegance of the drink. All in all, we thouroughly enjoyed the evening and will be back!
