    One of our favorite places for a great meal in a very pretty setting. We love the outdoor patio and always find the staff helpful and very well trained. New Year’s Eve was no different. Good food, great drinks, and attentive staff. And you should give the Happy Hour a try.

    The restaurant was extremely loud and crowded so service was lacking. I was never asked if I wanted another glass of wine. the table next to me asked for another Old fashioned and guest had to point out to waiter that it was ready and sitting at the end of bar about 20 minutes later. My son could barely eat his steak which was stringy, cold and flavorless. There were not many entre or appetizer choices for the plain food eater. Many choices for vegetarians were available. But the menu needed to have a few more selections. I generally love squash ravioli, but this was one of my least favorite. However on the bright side the ricotta donuts were awesome111

    Our server Izzi was wonderful and prompt with our food and beverages! Getting seating was a bit of a chaotic ordeal and we had a reservation. Get rid of the knats flying around...one landed in my water.
