Nice restaurant with pleasant setting and compentent staff. The chicken in the Chicken Picatta was tough. First wine we tasted had been open for several days. Pasta was good but not real flavorable.

Very accommodating, we move rescheduled 5:15 to 7:30 and then when we got there we had said to indoor dining. But we had decided to sitting outside, so warm and inviting including the blankets.
