The service was excellent. The octopus was unbelievably good. The crab legs were delicious and the pasta was good. We enjoyed our valentine dinner. We will return.

Food presentation and quality excellent. Live music was great and not too loud. Ambiance was romantic. Parking was aggravating but they do have valet parking.

I have been here before, but this time I was disappointed. The service was not on point as it usually is. The servers seemed distracted. I had to wave the server for another drink. They forgot my bread basket even though it was on the check. Not sure if new management is in place but I’m not sure I can recommend this place anymore.

A terrible way to spend a birthday. We waited about 1.5 hours for food that never came (servers kept apologizing for the wait and saying the food was coming, which only made the wait feel worse). Within those 1.5 hours, we did receive the Caesar salad which was terrible - literally tasted like mayo and lettuce (how do you mess up a salad that took an hour to get to the table). We also managed to get one round of drinks which were delicious. After receiving a terrible salad and nothing but promises for food that never came (we had ordered 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, and a seafood dish) we requested to cancel the rest of the meal and left. The request of course took another 29 mins because they kept providing excuses and zero accommodations for their terrible service. Never coming back here again.

Was able to move up my reservation and had great service from all staff, also were knowledgeable on things. Location is easy to get too and had no issues with parking.The Jazz singer was a plus I was not aware would be there. Steak and pasta were cooked extremely well.

Hostess and wait staff were exceptional! Loved the ambiance the live music added. I just wish some of the things we were excited to order were still available the night we visited.

I really enjoyed the live music and the Illegal Blow drink was incredible! The parking situation was annoying and the valet was slow/unresponsive. I wish I could eat the funghi papperdelle every single day!!!!
