    It was nice to catch up with Matt, who we hadn’t seen in a while and provided us with friendly, professional service. Our meals were prepared exactly as requested. The salmon was delicious and the bread and sun dried tomato oil is always a tasty treat to start our meal. Another great evening!

    A favorite of ours. Pretty much every serving is top notch. Pasta dishes and the desserts last night were over top. Cool place and always will go if we are in this area. Stacks up against any of finest places we have been.
