This was my third visit. Unfortunately my experience this time did not measure up to my other two visits (both of which were outstanding). Dinner salads were served simultaneously with the appetizer making the dinner feel rushed. The ribeye was visibly smaller than previously and a bit gristly. Maybe just an off night but certainly didn’t meet our expectations

Chicken spedini was excellent. Salmon was very good. White pasta side dish was excellent, sauce was not the thick and it also wasn’t too buttery, best ever.
